Partisan Memorial at the Kappel an der Drau/Kapla ob Dravi Cemetery

In the old cemetery section at the back, west of the area, lies the grave of Franc Heberle. Franc Heberle was born in 1927 in Kappel an der Drau. In 1945, Heberle fell at the age of 18 during the partisan struggle. Nothing is known about the exact circumstances of his death. Also originating from Kappel an der Drau were other partisan fighters, such as Vilibald Olipic, who is buried in Unterloibl. The memorial for Heberle, erected in the 1970s by the partisan association, consists of a white marble stele, the front of which shows a relief depicting a dying partisan. The design is typical of partisan memorials from this period; similar motifs can be found in Windisch Bleiberg, Ebental, Köttmansdorf, or Abtei.
