Billmuthausen, a piece of history of the former GDR. Anyone who has acquaintances who can tell you how their parents or grandparents were treated at the time is shocked. That is why this place is an important part of the memory of the injustice experienced in GDR times.

The history of the place
1340 Billmuthausen is mentioned for the first time as Billmuthehusen. The village was a manor, in 1840 there were 14 houses in Billmuthausen, a cutting and grinding mill and a church, around 1850 the village had 68 inhabitants. Billmuthausen belonged to the Saxon Amt Heldburg.

In 1965 the authorities ordered the village church to be demolished, in 1977 they had the mill demolished and announced the complete evacuation of the village. The border installations were built right through the village. In 1978 the last family was deported and the village was razed to the ground. The evacuation of the cemetery was planned, but was not carried out.

Inside the memorial chapel, the history of the place is clearly documented. It was built to replace the demolished church.
