BURGHAUSEN
CONCENTRATION CAMP CEMETERY

The concentration camp cemetery in Burghausen honors the victims of the Mettenheimer-Hart subcamp. The cemetery also serves as a memorial site. It is located near the powder tower of the city’s ancient fortification and can be reached by foot along the Alois-Buchleitner-Weg.

The cemetery is the final resting place of 253 unknown concentration camp victims, many of whom were Jews. Inscribed on the memorial plaque is the dedication “From the American military government and the city of Burghausen in the year 1945 in honor of the concentration camp inmates who perished.” The cemetery layout was designed by architect Wilhelm Schott.
