The European Holocaust Memorial in Landsberg am Lech is on the site of former subcamp number seven Erpfting (Landsberg), one of eleven former subcamps of Kaufering concentration camp complex, the largest remote area of the concentration camp Dachau. It contains the last remains, 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 (11 concentration camps) was deployed directly in Berlin. At the suggestion of Franz Josef Strauss,[1] Anton Posset and the "Bürgervereinigung Landsberg im 20. Jahrhundert" were able to convince the Jewish survivor of The Holocaust 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.
Even more than 75 years after world war II, in 2021 it's only possible to visite the European Holocaust Memorial after pre-registration and with accompaniment.
As part of the Ringeltaube armament project, three gigantic semi-underground bunkers were to be built in the Frauenwald in Landsberg for the aircraft production of the fighter jet Messerschmitt Me 262. From 18 June 1944, Lithuanian and Hungarian Jews were used for the construction. As more and more prisoners - including those from disbanded camps - were transferred, many other nationalities were later represented. By the end of April 1945, a total of about 30,000 prisoners had passed through the camps, including 4200 women and 850 children.[2] In just ten months, according to estimates from early post-war times, at least 14,500 prisoners died from hunger, epidemics, executions, transfer to Auschwitz-Birkenau, and on a death March.[3]
