Anna Hochleitner, mother of the two sons Simon and Alois Hochleitner, who were murdered by the Gestapo, erected a wooden cross at the site of the murder after the war. It bore the inscription: „Unforgettable my sons Simon and Alois, who were murdered here in a treacherous manner". Later, the wooden cross had to be removed due to a road renovation. A stone monument replaced it, however, the altered inscription obscured the exact cause of death of both sons. Only in the year 2013, on the initiative of Peter Hochleitner, the brother of both, the memorial stone with the original text by Anna Hochleitner was renewed.
