Grafeneck Euthanasia Centre, Memorial site in Gomadingen, Germany.

The Grafeneck Euthanasia Centre contains exhibition spaces, documentation facilities, and memorial grounds within a former castle complex in Baden-Württemberg.

Between January and December 1940, the Nazi regime systematically murdered 10,654 people with disabilities at this location through carbon monoxide gas chambers.

The memorial center provides educational programs about medical ethics, human rights, and the consequences of discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

Visitors can access guided tours, research materials, and educational resources at the Documentation Centre, which maintains regular opening hours throughout the year.

The site represents the first operational killing facility of the Nazi T4 program, establishing methods later implemented across other euthanasia centers.
