On 21 April 1945, a Junkers 352 flown by Major Friedrich Anton Gundelfinger took off on its way from Berlin to Salzburg. At around 6 a.m., while attempting an emergency landing, it gets stuck in the treetops just in front of a clearing and crashes and explodes near the village of Börnersdorf in the Ore Mountains. All but two survivors, one of whom dies shortly afterwards, are killed and buried in the nearby cemetery. This incident later became famous in connection with the scandal surrounding the alleged Hitler diaries published by STERN. The wooden crosses erected later have disappeared and the victims stand with other war dead on a black gravestone. The church in Börnersdorf was consecrated in 1674. The orientation of the single-gure hall building is unusual: it faces south, while the massive tower with its lantern-crowned pyramid roof, added in 1865, faces north. The quarry stone masonry of the church is unrendered. War memorial for the victims of both world wars, Börn cemetery and
