Bridge in memory of Theresia and Alois Buder

Diagonally opposite the "Gassnerhaus" in St. Johann, a new memorial space was created to commemorate the resistance of Theresia and Alois Buder against the NS regime. The bridge over the Wagrainer Ache was officially renamed the "Theresia und Alois Buder Bridge" on 11 May 2024. Together with the 2015 installed Stolpersteine and a commemorative plaque, the courageous actions of the Buders were honored, who had hidden the Goldegger deserter Karl Rupitsch after his escape. Alois Buder was executed in the Mauthausen concentration camp in 1944, Theresia Buder died in the Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1945. They left behind a five-year-old son, Walter.
