Henry Allewohl was a helocopter pilot who flew material up to "Burg Are" in the time of the castle´s renovation.
The construction material was transported to the castle site on a cable suspended from a Hughes 500 helicopter flown by Henry Allewohl. After 30 flights the laden helicopter crashed on 9 April 1997 because the cable caught on its skids. The pilot received fatal injuries.
The plaque is mounted on a pillar of a railway bridge near the point the helicopter crashed.
