European Holocaust Memorial in Landsberg

The European Holocaust Memorial in Landsberg am Lech contains the last remains of the largest remote area of the concentration camp Dachau, including six ruins of clay tube barracks and the last traces of concentration camp earth huts. In administrative terms it belonged to the remote concentration camp of Dachau near Munich. The camp commander for the Landsberg/Kaufering concentration camp complex was deployed directly in Berlin. At the suggestion of Franz Josef Strauss, Anton Posset and the "Bürgervereinigung Landsberg im 20. Jahrhundert" were able to convince the patron Alexander Moksel to make the financial means available for the acquisition of part of the former concentration camp site of the Kaufering VII concentration camp command and subsequently return it to a dignified condition. The other, overgrown and neglected part of the site is owned by the city of Landsberg. It was levelled and backfilled. In 2009, the memorial was transferred by the Citizens' Association of Landsberg in the 20th century to the European Holocaust Memorial Foundation, which has successfully carried out the professional conservation of the buildings and monuments on and at the former Kaufering VII concentration camp since then.
