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.

In the Ziskov district, from 1680 onwards, dead Jews were initially buried during a plague epidemic. Then from 1787 all burials of Prague Jews took place here. The cemetery was used until 1890. In 1990 a television tower was built on a part of the overgrown cemetery. Today the cemetery has been restored and is open to the public.

What is striking about these stones is that the inscription does not follow the usual procedure in Germany, i.e. the po nigba or po tema as the uppermost sign, then a largely fixed text with name, date, etc., but is largely freely designed.
