Bildstock for Johann Oblasser

The 1995 erected memorial stone commemorates Johann Oblasser, whose farm served as an important hideout for the Goldegger deserters. Johann Oblasser, born on December 26, 1902, came under the attention of the Gestapo in July 1944, when it became known that his farm served as an important hideout for the Goldegger deserters around Karl Rupitsch. After his imprisonment in Salzburg, he was deported to the concentration camp Dachau. This was followed by repeated relocations, including to the concentration camp Natzweiler-Struthof, the concentration camp Buchenwald, and the concentration camp Flossenbürg. During a further relocation, he managed to escape and found shelter with a family in southern Germany. After six weeks of stay and following the end of the war, he returned to his farm on foot. In the same year, he built a chapel out of gratitude for his survival, which stood at the base of the farm, but has since fallen into disrepair. In place of the chapel, the memorial stone was erected. Johann Oblasser died on December 5, 1971.
