Birthplace of Theophil Ruderstaller

Theophil Ruderstaller (1906, in Ostermiething, Upper Austria; † 10 June 1946, in Fuxin, China) was a capuchin and China missionary.

In 2005, Bishop Joseph Wei from Qiqihar - since 2002 apostolic administrator of the former Capuchin mission Kiamusze (Jiamusi) - told Gaudentius Walser from the North Tyrolean Capuchin province that two coffins with the corpses of Theophil Ruderstaller (Ostermiething) and Antonin Schörcksnadel (Innsbruck) had been found while digging a fountain in the garden of a private house. On July 10, 1946, they were shot in the parsonage.

Currently, there is a beatification running for Theophil Ruderstaller.
