Franz Jägerstätter was born on the 20th of July, 1907 in Radegund. He lived in poverty together with his grandmother who taught him the religious principles of life. As he refused to do his military service during World War II he became a national hero. He was sentenced to death and decapitated on August 09, 1943 in Brandenburg/Mavel. The urn of Franz Jägerstätter can be found in the exterior church wall. Today the former residential building of the Jägerstätter family is a memorial site and can be visited by prior arrangement.
