Memorial Plaque for Pastor Linsinger at the Aufbarungshalle

Pastor Balthasar Linsinger sheltered the Jewish Bäumer family from Salzburg in the parish house of Großarl in 1944/45, who were disguised as „Ausgebombte.“ The parents worked on farms, and two of the three children attended school. Thus, the family could live undetected in Großarl until the end of the war. In the autumn of 2010, Linsinger was posthumously recognized by Yad Vashem as „Righteous Among the Nations“ at the request of Angelica Bäumer. His name is immortalized in the memorial site in Jerusalem. In memory of his courageous act, a linden tree was planted in Großarl in May 2011.
