In the BADEHAUS of Waldram (formerly Föhrenwald), history can be experienced as if in fast motion: From 1940, the National Socialists built a model settlement for armaments workers in the Wolfratshaus forest. Towards the end of the war, the concentration camp death march passed by here. Then Föhrenwald became a camp for Jewish displaced persons who had survived the Holocaust. From 1956 on, mostly Catholic displaced persons with many children were settled and the place was renamed Waldram. Traces of this unique migration history can still be found here today. It is told vividly and in multimedia form in the newly erected BADEHAUS place of remembrance. A citizens' initiative has saved the building from demolition and built a place of remembrance, encounter and learning.
