Zwangsarbeiterlager Neuaubing, Forced labor memorial site in Neuaubing, Germany
The Zwangsarbeiterlager Neuaubing is a memorial to a former camp operated under Nazi control in western Munich. Eight original barracks still stand on the site at Ehrenbürgstraße, now surrounded by artist studios, workshops, and community facilities.
The camp was established in 1942 as a forced labor facility for the Neuaubing Railway Maintenance Workshops, operating until 1945 with up to 1,000 prisoners. The surviving barracks document this period of exploitation and control under Nazi rule.
The site remains a place of remembrance in the neighborhood, visible to residents and visitors as a tangible link to the past. The preserved buildings stand among contemporary uses, serving as a physical reminder of the forced laborers who worked here.
The site is accessible to the public in western Munich and easily reached by public transportation from the city center. Visitors can explore the grounds, with plans for exhibitions in restored barracks to provide educational context about the camp.
This location preserves the largest surviving group of forced labor barracks in southern Germany, with eight of the original eleven buildings remaining intact. Rather than being isolated as a museum, the structures coexist with active community uses, creating an unusual blend of memory and contemporary life.
