August Fischpera (* 1884, † 1968) was a citizen of Weissenstein, he lived on the former "Iron Bridge" on the Nagold. When the Allies were on the rise in the last days of the war in 1945, the Wehrmacht wanted to blow up this bridge. August Fischpera prevented this by stealing the detonators of the charged explosives using his life. This is commemorated today by this memorial stone, which stands on today's Weißensteiner bridge, which was built in 1982 instead of the "Iron Bridge".
