Monuments

A memorial stone in the cemetery has been commemorating the 30 murdered concentration camp prisoners since 1948 on a death march that the SS drove through the town on April 11, 1945. They went into hiding, were tracked down and then shot. Since the early 1980s, a death march stele opposite the entrance to the town north of Bundesstrasse 7 below the quarry has been commemorating the victims of Nazi rule.
