Chapel Stalingrad

Thirty years after the Battles of Stalingrad, this chapel was built by the Austrian Stalingrad League in Aigen im Ennstal: 285,000 soldiers of the 6th Army were trapped, and many wounded were flown out. 250,000 soldiers had fallen, frozen to death, or died in captivity. In contrast to its history, the site above the village of Ritzmannsdorf is a bright location with a fascinating view.
