Between 1957 and i960 a cemetery of honour for the victims of the concentration camp was laid out in the rear part of the former concentration camp where the isolation blocks, the construction depot and the disinfection building were located. The bodies of prisoners who were killed on the death marches when the camp was evacuated and were buried along the march route in local cemeteries all over Bavaria found their last resting-place here. More than 5,500 people are buried in the cemetery of honour in individual graves. In 1995 a Jewish place of prayer was erected on the site of the former construction depot.
