history
Second World War
During the Second World War , 17 civilians were arbitrarily murdered with one dead person on June 11, 1944 in Onna by the German Wehrmacht in "retaliation" for an alleged partisan attack on June 2. Before the Wehrmacht left the small village, the soldiers blew up a dozen buildings.
During the search for the perpetrators on June 2, soldiers from Intelligence Department 114 were killed on June 7 in the nearby small mountain village of Filetto di Camarda . The commander of this Wehrmacht unit from the 114th Jägerdivision and the later commander of the "retaliation measure" was the later Munich Auxiliary Bishop Matthias Defregger , the responsible division general Hans Boelsen . On the evening of June 7th, 22 men were shot in retaliation during the Gran Sasso massacre and the place was set on fire.
2009 earthquake
In the earthquake in L'Aquila in 2009 , 42 of the original 280 inhabitants of the place died and around 90% of the residential buildings were destroyed or have been uninhabitable since then. Most of the survivors currently (as of August 2011) live in makeshift wooden houses next to the destroyed village. On April 28, 2009 Pope Benedict XVI visited the earthquake region and the town of Onna.
The German Embassy in Rome set up a donation account after the earthquake and has been supporting the reconstruction of Onna with the money ever since. The twin town of Rottweil has also collected extensive donations. Under the coordination of the embassy, a unit of the technical relief organization was dispatched for several months , a community hall was built and a reconstruction plan for the village began. The then Federal Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has also promised his Italian counterpart Franco Frattini help with the reconstruction of the village church from the 18th century. For this purpose, around 3.5 million euros were donated from Germany. Nevertheless, reconstruction has not yet started four years after the earthquake. During the earthquake, however, frescoes from the 15th century came to light under layers of plaster that had fallen off.
On April 4, 2011, the ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany Michael Gerdts presented the city of L'Aquila with a master plan for the reconstruction of the district, which was drawn up by the Cologne architecture firm Schaller / Theodor on behalf of the embassy. The municipality of L'Aquila approved this plan on November 15, 2012. Implementation may start in 2013. This means that reconstruction in Onna is the furthest advanced compared to the other towns affected by the 2009 earthquake.
In the run-up to the G8 summit in L'Aquila 2009 , the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi visited the town on July 8, 2009 .
