Tips
This place is often referred to as "art in the forest", which is probably aimed at the small figure in a ruin. However, this memorial is not about art, but about contemporary history!
The buildings of the Buchhorst memorial are so-called ball catches. Some of these were built at the end of the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century.
During the Nazi era, soldiers sentenced to death, prisoners of war and civilians were executed here.translated by
