Jewish DP Camp Föhrenwald

Complete profile
100

In the BADEHAUS of Waldram (former Führenwald), history can be experienced as if in fast motion: From 1940, the National Socialists built a model settlement for Rüstungsarbeiter in the Wolfratshauser Forst. 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.
