Large donations for the Black Cross: Hollabrunners show their commitment

In the last few weeks, the members of the Hollabrunner Comradeship Association have held their All Saints' Day collection campaign with great conviction. This dedicated group was at the cemetery gates to collect donations for the Black Cross. But what exactly is the Black Cross and what is the purpose behind these donations? These questions are of central importance.

Since the end of the First World War, the Black Cross has played a crucial role in the care and maintenance of military cemeteries and war graves. The care includes not only 1,067 war cemeteries within Austria, but also 250 military cemeteries abroad. One of the association's most recent activities is the renovation of the graves of displaced persons in Hollabrunn, which was successfully completed last year with financial support from the Black Cross.

Successful collection and community spirit

This year's collection of the comradeship association was a great success. A significant result of €3,094.77 was raised, showing how strong the support is in the region. Alfred Deimbacher, the chairman of the comradeship association, emphasizes that the donations come from the community with great commitment. “In addition to Hollabrunn and Sonnberg, we were able to expand our activities to other communities such as Enzersdorf im Thale and Eggendorf im Thale,” says Deimbacher.

It is particularly gratifying that many young people were motivated to take an active part in this important cause. Your commitment is of great importance for the continued care of the war cemeteries. These contributions not only preserve the legacy of the war dead, but also give importance to shared remembrance.

The members of the Comradeship Association continue to reflect on the importance of these donations and express their gratitude to the population. They emphasize that only through generous support can the dignity and honor of war graves be maintained. “God bless you!” Deimbacher calls out to the community and thanks them for their generous contributions that ensure the preservation of these valuable sites.

The activities of the Comradeship Association under the sign of the Black Cross not only show a deeper meaning of community work, but also illustrate how historical heritage can be kept alive through solidarity and commitment. In keeping with the strong regional cohesion, it is important to honor and preserve the memory of the fallen in this way.
