    Tips

    April 5, 2022

    In 1946, the former STALAG IX penal labor camp, where prisoners of war lived and died, was transferred to a reception facility for expellees from Bohemia and Silesia. This barracks camp existed until 1955 and was closed when everyone could be housed permanently in new apartments and houses. In the period from 1946 to 1955, the elderly and sick died of natural causes among the expellees, often also of broken hearts.

    The expellee cemetery looks like a war graveyard. He is not. It would have been correct to leave the grave crosses and grave stones that were selected and used there after the burial of the people.
