Stauffenberg-Gedenkstätte

This memorial site occupies a castle building in the Lautlingen district and presents personal items, letters, and photographs from the Stauffenberg family's collection. The exhibition gives visitors a sense of who these people were through their own documents and keepsakes.

The memorial was established in 2007 to honor Claus von Stauffenberg, who shifted from initial support of the regime to becoming a determined opponent. His story traces a personal journey toward resistance against the dictatorship.

The Stauffenberg family's personal papers and correspondence on display show how this aristocratic household navigated their world. You can see their relationships, daily concerns, and beliefs written in their own words across the rooms.

Visits work best on Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, or holidays when the site opens in the afternoon. Allow time to read through the personal documents at a relaxed pace and explore the details of the exhibition carefully.

An educational path winds through the castle courtyard with information panels about local history, church heritage, and the building's architectural development. This route connects the Stauffenberg story to the broader history of the castle and its surroundings.
