On 13 August 1840, a solemn memorial service was held in Vienna's St. Rupert's Church for the fallen Tyrolean and Vorarlberg defenders of 1809. Alongside relatives of Andreas Hofer and Father Joachim Haspinger, twenty veterans of the Battle of Bergisel attended. Martin Frick announced that the memorial mass will henceforth be observed annually.
A severe thunderstorm on 16 June 1840 triggered devastating debris flows between Schlanders and Latsch. In Vezan, the local church was engulfed by mud and debris, claiming the life of the beneficed priest, while in Goldrain fields were ruined and livestock swept away.
