Flossenbürg concentration camp memorial site

Flossenbürg is a memorial complex at a former concentration camp in southern Bavaria with preserved buildings and a modern exhibition center. The stone quarry where prisoners performed forced labor remains visible and shapes the site.

The camp was established in 1938 and held roughly 100,000 people from various European countries during World War II. It was liberated by American troops in 1945.

The site holds personal items and documents that show how prisoners lived and suffered here. These collections help visitors understand individual stories rather than just numbers.

Visitors can join guided tours in several languages or explore the grounds independently. The center also offers educational programs and research facilities for those wanting to go deeper.

The site contains the Valley of Death with three mass graves holding remains of prisoners. These graves are marked by stone monuments and plaques, forming a solemn and reflective part of the location.
