A chapel was erected on this private property to commemorate five families murdered towards the end of World War II. These had been hiding in a bunker inside the hill (Königskogel, then an anti-aircraft position) and had been discovered and killed by the Soviets.
No entry, taste is debatable, it is definitely interesting.

Anyone who would like to read up on the history of the Königskogel and the anti-aircraft battery stationed there should look for the following document: Rauchenwarth Apr 1945.doc Written by Felix RAMEDER, born August 5th, 1932 as a 13-year-old eyewitness at the time. If you have seen this bizarre memorial and read the eyewitness report about the events, you can probably get a better picture. You can also learn how the Bründl Church and its cemetery relate to it.
