Gedenkstein für Johann Schroffner

The memorial stone embedded in the ground in the garden of the former judicial district remembers the priest Johann Schroffner, who was born on 10 May 1891 in Thalgau. After his priestly ordination in 1915, he was active as a cooperator in various Salzburg and Tyrolean communities until 1931, until he was entrusted with the parish in Oberndorf in the district of Kitzbühel in 1936. In addition to his work in the parish, he was also a member of the Fatherland's Front. He was arrested on 2 August 1939 due to regime-critical statements and was initially deported to the concentration camp Dachau a few days later, and subsequently to the concentration camp Buchenwald, where he was murdered on 14 April 1940.
