Iron ore mining Langenreuth
Iron ore was mined for days near Langenreuth . During the Second World War , Russian prisoners of war were used there as slave labor . A task force of the Secret State Police (Gestapo) Regensburg checked on November 29, 1941 the Russian work command with a total of 23 prisoners of war. Eight of the prisoners were "sorted out as unusable items", taken to the Flossenbürg concentration camp on December 17, 1941 and killed there.
On December 17, 2013, the anniversary of the murder, the mayor of Pegnitz proposed the erection of a memorial stone for the victims who were not known by name at a small memorial hour. However, a majority of the residents of Langenreuth subsequently voted against this project.
