Cemetery Axams

In the cemetery adjacent to the church are several private graves of fallen from the 2nd World War, often as is customary in this part of Austria with photo. In that case, the photos are often in uniform.

In addition to the graves, there is also a memorial plaque for Georg Bucher. Bucher was the local innkeeper and also captain and major of the gunners. In 1809 he was commander of a regiment of very successful stormtroopers in the so-called Tyrolean freedom struggle. He was called Dollinger Jörgele.
During the liberation struggle in 1809 he also financed the supply of food for the warring Tyrolean troops, couriers and scouts, which cost him a fortune. In addition, he had to quarter and feed Bavarian troops in his Gasthof Dollinger. The then Imperial family of Austria honored his commitment with an annual donation of 150 Austrian guilders. Which was a considerable amount at this time.
