The Jewish cemetery and memorial is right next to the Powder Tower. The 253 victims of the Mettenheimer Hart concentration camp (subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp) are commemorated here.

The Am Pulverturm cemetery is both a cemetery and a memorial.

After the end of the Second World War, American soldiers found 2,249 concentration camp prisoners in the forest camp near Mettenheim, a subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp, who had died as a result of mistreatment, malnutrition, weakness and epidemics. The deceased were reburied in memorial cemeteries in Altötting, Ampfing, Kraiburg am Inn, Mühldorf am Inn, Burghausen and Neumarkt St. Veit. The Nazi regime held Jews from Hungary, Poland and Lithuania in the subcamp.

On July 28, 1945, 253 unknown prisoners were buried in Burghausen. On the memorial stone in the cemetery, visitors find the inscription: “Dedicated to the deceased LZ camp inmates by the American military government and the city of Burghausen in 1945”. On September 29, 1945, the American military government officially handed over the cemetery to the city of Burghausen. Today, the Bavarian Memorials Foundation looks after the cemetery.

The cemetery is located not far from the powder tower of Burghausen Castle. Those interested can reach the memorial on foot via the Alois-Buchleitner-Weg.
