people
August Fischpera (* 1884; † 1968) was a citizen of Weißenstein, he lived on the former "Iron Bridge" over the Nagold . When the Allies were advancing 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 attached explosive charges at the risk of his life. A memorial stone on today's Weißensteiner Bridge, which was built in 1982 instead of the "Iron Bridge", reminds us of this.
