Wolfgang Meier

Wolfgang Meier (8 November 1878 in Freuenornau, Obertaufkirchen - 22 February 1945 in Dachau concentration camp), was a German farmer who temporarily hid Augustin Rösch.

With his wife Theresia Schellhammer (1879–1953), Meier had fourteen children, three of whom died in infancy.

Since he was considered reliable, he was asked to take in the Jesuit priest Augustin Rösch, who was hidden in Moosen Monastery, in his estate in Hofgiebing.

Rösch, along with other clergymen, was deported to Munich and then to Berlin, while Meier – together with his children – was taken to the Dachau concentration camp.

In 1999, the Catholic Church admitted Wolfgang Meier as a witness to the faith in the German Martyrology of the 20th Century.
