Tour description

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.

THE RESONANCE EXERCISE
YES TO LIFE

For you

At a position of your choice near the Stalingrad Chapel, clench your hands tightly into fists several times and then relax them.
Expand your upper body by taking a deep breath, raise your arms loosely to the sides, and spread your fingers powerfully like sunbeams.
Create an inner or audible "Yes to life!" or "Yes to peace!"

For couples, groups, or families

Perform the clenching and relaxing of your hands together.
Perceive your own strength and opposing force in tension, and also the release of your own strength and the opposing force.
Symbolically perceive "War and Peace" together and feel what you can be grateful for.
