Memorials Dachau Waldfriedhof

The Waldfriedhof Dachau is a memorial cemetery containing around 1,268 graves of people who died following the liberation of the concentration camp in 1945. The grounds are laid out across a forested area with multiple memorial sections and religious spaces for different faith groups.

The cemetery was established after 1945 to honor prisoners who died following the camp's liberation. A four-meter monument stands as a memorial to Jewish victims of the death march that led from the Flossenbürg concentration camp to Dachau.

The site is divided into separate memorial sections that honor different groups of victims and their beliefs. Visitors can see how religious symbols and stone markers throughout the grounds reflect the diversity of those remembered here.

The site is situated in a wooded area with designated parking at Krankenhausstraße 28-30. The cemetery maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year and is easily walkable across its grounds.

The graves are arranged in a terraced system within the forest, creating an unusual layout that flows through the wooded landscape. This design allows visitors to move among individual graves while the natural surroundings remain largely unchanged.
