Jewish cemetery (Fürstenstein concentration camp gravesite)

On April 17, 1945, a train carrying about 4500 prisoners from Buchenwald concentration camp arrived at Nammering station on its way to Dachau concentration camp and remained there until April 23. During this time 794 prisoners died of starvation or by mass shootings. After the invasion of the American troops, 92 dead were buried in the cemetery in Fürstenstein in May 1945. In 1950, the Bavarian State Compensation Office erected a memorial stone made of Flossenbürger granite. After reburials to Flossenbürg, Italy and France, which took place after 1958, 39 dead whose nationality could not be determined are buried in Fürstenstein.
