KRAIBURG
CONCENTRATION CAMP  CEMETERY

The location of what is presumably a mass grave is believed to be located in the rear left section of the village cemetery along the Linsenbergweg in Kraiburg. The dead were prisoners of the Mettenheim subcamp near Mühldorf / Inn. The victims met their deaths in the very last days of WWII and were hastily interred at the indicated site.

The inscription on the memorial plaque reads “Here rest in eternal memory 242 innocent victims of National Socialism who perished in April 1945. They were humiliated by hatred but ennobled by their suffering.”

On July 28, 1945, the remains of 253 prisoners from the 2249 exhumed concentration camp prisoners originally from the mass graves at Mühldorfer Hart were transferred and reburied at the concentration camp cemetery in Kraiburg.
