Leo Feichtmeier
Leo Feichtmeier, a prominent Catholic priest and religious educator, was known for his unwavering resistance against the controversial nuclear waste disposal project in Wackersdorf, Germany, during the 1980s. Born in Freihung and educated in theology and philosophy, he became notorious as the 'Anti-WAA-Pfarrer' for his vocal opposition to the project, which he deemed detrimental to the environment and community. Feichtmeier held prayers at the protest site, advocating for ecological responsibility and democratic values even in the face of disciplinary actions from church authorities. His commitment to social justice and reform within the church continued well into his retirement, making him a revered figure among activists and a symbol of faith-driven dissent. Feichtmeier passed away at the age of 91, leaving behind a legacy of courage and conviction in the face of adversity.
