A memorial plaque commemorating the victims of the "NS-Euthanasia" was erected at the war memorial of the community of St. Margarethen im Lungau. Four individuals from the community – Fritz Leonhard, Johann Stückler, Albert Löcker and Franziska Sampl – are named on the plaque. The entire memorial site is located below the parish church and is designated as a war memorial for the fallen and missing of World War I (since 1921) and World War II (since 1954). It still consists today of a central pillar with sculptures of a wing-beating eagle and a dying soldier, as well as two separate memorial plaques with the names of soldiers who died in the wars. The memorial plaque for the persecuted and murdered victims of Nazi persecution was also attached to the surrounding stone wall next to the latter.
