We discuss the process of producing narratives about the Mucker conflict, which occurred between 1868 and 1874, in the context of the German immigration process in southern Brazil and, more particularly, in the German Colony of Sāo Leopoldo, Rio Grande do South. The conflict, of a messianic character, had the leadership of its leader, Jacobina Mentz Maurer, who was entirely responsible for the facts and events that constituted the plot of this story. The image constructed and disseminated about the leader of the Mucker is interpreted, in this study, from the identification and analysis of the places of memory, produced on the episode, that tried to tell a certain version of the facts, from the creation and naming of monuments, squares, institutions and public places, which contributed to the moral condemnation of the Mucker, while celebrating the heroicization of those who fought against the Mucker.
