The WAA Resistance Marterl is dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi and is framed by several other protest monuments such as the Cross of Wackersdorf and The Broken Man. At the Marterl met in the mid-1980s every Sunday at 14:00 clock WAA opponents to an ecumenical devotion and then moved into the terrain or to the fence. Even today, the "parish church" meets four times a year for worship - at the Chernobyl and Hiroshima memorial days, in memory of Marterl's patron Francis of Assisi on October 3 and Christmas Eve.

Waa Widerstandsmaterl was built in the 80s in the course of the anti-WAA demonstrations. Could not be banned by the government for the sake of small footprint.
In addition, there are still the hands of the first cross to see that was then removed by the police from the hut village and never turned up and the second cross.
