Memorial Site for the Loferer Execution Site "Galgenanger"

As part of the project “Loferer Geschichten”, the journalist Christine Schweinöster and the photographer Walter Schweinöster installed around 60 plaques in the Loferer town centre and its surroundings, telling the story of the community. One such plaque is today located near the so-called “Galgenanger”. The centuries-old execution site, of which only a single block stone remains today, was also used by the National Socialists. Thus, in 1944, a South Tyrolean postal clerk, who is said to have stolen postal packages, was executed. Furthermore, a forced worker accused of murder was also hanged there. Up to now, nothing is known about both individuals murdered by the National Socialists.
