Dr. Kirchschläger Gedenkstein

Dr. Rudolf Kirchschläger was born in 1915 in Grafenau, municipality of Niederkappel, and baptized a few days later in the parish church of Niederkappel. Because of this, Dr. Kirchschläger visited our village again and again with his family in his later years. He celebrated his 70th and 80th baptismal anniversaries in the Mühlviertler Dom. On March 30, 2000, Dr. Kirchschläger passed away in Vienna. In his memory, a memorial plaque was placed in the parish church (donated by Mr. OSR Konrad Jäger) and a memorial stone was erected at the site of his birthplace in Grafenau 21. There is also a Kirchschläger-Steig, which leads from his former parental home on the Kleine Mühl to the Mühlviertler Dom. Car: from Linz on the B127 to Altenfelden, follow the road to Obermühl.
