The Franziskus-Marterl is a chapel wayside shrine in the southeast of the unfinished Wackersdorf reprocessing plant. The WAA Resistance Marterl is dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi and is surrounded by several other protest monuments such as the “Cross of Wackersdorf” and “The Torn Man”. At the Marterl, where, according to Franz Josef Strauß, “the work of the devil was carried out,” WAA opponents met every Sunday at 2 p.m. in the mid-1980s for an ecumenical prayer and then moved into the area or to the construction fence. Even today, the “Marterlgemeinde” meets four times a year for devotions – on the Chernobyl and Hiroshima memorial days, in memory of the Marterl patron Francis of Assisi on October 3rd and on Christmas Eve. Since 2015, an official information board from the Schwandorf district has commemorated the construction and the resistance against the WAW.

Not far from the former hut village is the Franziskus-Marterl and is a reminder of the resistance to the Wackersdorf reprocessing plant planned here in the 1980s. The WAA Resistance Marterl is dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi and is surrounded by several other protest monuments such as the “Cross of Wackersdorf” and “The Torn Man”. Since 2015, an official information board from the Schwandorf district has commemorated the construction and the resistance against the WAW.
