12th century Nieder-Weisel Church, garden and memorial plaque
To commemorate this momentous shift of people and the contribution that they made to Australian society, a group of passionate Australians and locals from Nieder-Weisel raised funds and erected a memorial plaque in the garden at the 12th century Nieder-Weisel Church. The plaque was dedicated on Sunday 3rd October 2010, as part of a weekend of celebrations.
