Concentration camp grave and memorial site Seestall
The Kaufering VIII subcamp appeared at the beginning of September 1944 on a meadow area a few hundred metres west of Seestall. The dead from the camp had to be buried by fellow prisoners in a wooded area by the river Lech. According to documentation by the district administration office responsible from immediately after the war, 22 Jewish victims are involved.
The first provisional memorial on this site was erected by the Landsberg district construction department. A simple, wooden post with a Star of David marked the grave site.
In 1950, the Bavarian State Compensation Office began the construction of a concentration camp cemetery. Instead of the wooden post, there is today a hexagonal memorial of white shell limestone that is surrounded by a herbal bed in the shape of a Star of David. Like the earlier wooden post, the memorial also bears the inscription.
