Ludwig Mooslechner

Ludwig Mooslechner (born August 20, 1910 , † April 10, 1945 on the Hebalm , municipality of Kloster , today: municipality of Deutschlandsberg) was an Austrian doctor and resistance fighter against National Socialism .

Life

Ludwig Mooslechner studied medicine in Innsbruck, Vienna and Graz. During his studies he became a member of the Catholic student associations AV Austria Innsbruck and KÖHV Carolina Graz (both members of the Austrian Cartel Association ). In Graz, he initially worked at the Graz Regional Hospital, where he had to give up his post in March 1938 for political reasons. He established himself as a general practitioner and dentist in Schwanberg in western Styria.

In the years 1944/45 Mooslechner supplied the partisans in the Koralm area with weapons, ammunition and medicines. In September 1944 he was arrested by the Gestapo for “disrupting military strength and favoring the enemy”, and then released for health reasons. Another arrest took place on March 25, 1945, accusing freedom fighters in the Koralpen region in Carinthia with weapons, ammunition and medicines and treating the sick and wounded. He was shot with 17 other prisoners (15 men and two women) by order of the Deutschlandsberg district leader Hugo Suette in a bomb crater on the Hebalm .

His grave is, together with other resistance fighters, in the Deutschlandsberg cemetery.
