Monument dedicated to Pater Joachim Haspinger
Father Joachim Haspinger, known as “the fighting Capuchin,” was born in 1776 in the Gsiesertal Valley. After joining the Capuchin Order, he became one of the leaders of the Tyrolean uprising in 1809, fighting alongside Andreas Hofer at the Battle of Bergisel against French and Bavarian troops. The monument in the village center of St. Martin honors his bravery and enduring spirit of freedom.
