2006/07 the exhibition "lebensunwert" by Laube GmbH toured all districts of the federal state of Salzburg as a memorial to the over 400 victims of the NS "Euthanasia" in the region.
In the Lungau, the project was shown for several weeks in 2007 at the Gymnasium Tamsweg, and during the graduation ceremony a memorial service was held and a dramatic reading was organized.
In addition, a permanent memorial artwork was unveiled. On the outer wall of the church wall, the painter and Special Olympics athlete Herbert Fritzenwallner (1961–2011) and the Tamsweg artist Reinhard Simbürger created a memorial to commemorate the "NS "Euthanasia" victims of the Lungau. Since then, the memorial plaque has expanded the war memorial of World War II at the Tamsweg parish church St. Jakob to include a place of remembrance for the victims of the Nazi euthanasia program in the Lungau.
