Georg Häfner was a German Catholic priest from Würzburg who lived from 1900 to 1942. A member of the Third Order of Discalced Carmelites, he served as a pastor in Franconia. He became a figure of resistance against the Nazi regime by refusing to perform the Nazi salute and by criticizing the government through his sermons. His defiance led to frequent arrests by the Gestapo, eventually resulting in his imprisonment and death at the Dachau concentration camp.
