According to an estimate made in 1949 by the Landsberg District Administration Office, the bodies of approximately 490 Jewish prisoners, whose names and origins remain unknown, were interred in 360 square metres of the grave area of the Stoffersberg-Wald cemetery.

The cemetery facility is located in a spruce woodland setting. Within, next to seven irregularly distributed burial grounds, there is a tall memorial stone with the inscription:

THROUGH DARKNESS
INTO LIGHT
HERE LIE
CONCENTRATION CAMP VICTIMS

In September 1997, the concentration camp cemetery was desecrated. The entry portal was stolen in August 2003 by persons unknown.
