Up until October 1944, the Jewish men and women who died during their incarceration in the Landsberg/Kaufering subcamp complex were disposed of in the Dachau concentration camp crematorium.

Thereafter, the dead of the Kaufering I camp were buried in mass graves to the north of the area. After the end of the war, former concentration camp prisoners returned there and identified them.

The design of the concentration camp cemetery was done in 1946/47 by the Landsberg municipal building office in collaboration with a committee of the Saarburg barracks displaced persons camp. In 1950, the concentration camp cemetery was completed and dedicated.

A two-winged door with Star of David gives access to the concentration camp cemetery, which is surrounded by a low wall. In all, there are eight individual grave stones and three memorial plaques of different materials in the area. The memorial was designed by the architect Ernst Rücker.

According to an estimate by the Landsberg District Administration Office in 1949, there are approximately 600 unknown concentration camp victims buried here. In 2006, the Bavarian Palace Department placed a memorial plaque in their memory on the chapel.
