Honor Grave for Anton Neumayr at the Municipal Cemetery

On the Salzburg Municipal Cemetery, in group 77, there is a memorial grave for the resistance fighter Anton Neumayr. Born on 28 July 1921 in Salzburg, the trained hairdresser was active with the Social Democratic Workers' Party (SDAP). After its prohibition in 1934, he turned to the illegal communists. Together with Ernst-Paul Stoiber and Rosa Hofmann, he aimed to enlighten young people about war and fascism. Neumayr was conscripted into the Wehrmacht in 1941. Only a year later, the Gestapo disbanded several Salzburg resistance groups. Neumayr, still in the Wehrmacht at that time, was arrested. He was sentenced to death by the "People's Court" for "preparation for high treason" and remained in custody until the execution of the sentence. On 15 July 1943, only a few days before his 22nd birthday, Anton Neumayr was murdered in Munich-Stadelheim.
