The Memorial Tunnel in Steyr is a memorial site commemorating the Nazi era and, in particular, the forced labor at the former Steyr-Münichholz subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp. The exhibition is located in an approximately 140-meter-long air-raid shelter tunnel beneath Lamberg Castle, which was driven into the rock by concentration camp prisoners in 1943. In this original, preserved tunnel, the exhibition guides visitors through the years 1938 to 1945, using documents, photographs, and personal accounts to illustrate the profound impact of the armaments industry, forced labor, and persecution on life in Steyr. The deliberately simple and somber design evokes the confinement and atmosphere of the place, making the tunnel a central learning and memorial site used by many visitors and school groups to gain a deeper understanding of the local history of the Nazi period.

From the cycle path along the Enns River, there is a beautiful view of Steyr's old town and Lamberg Castle perched above it. Along the river, you can see the closely packed historic buildings, which rise in tiers from the riverbank, marking the transition from the river area to the old town. The castle sits on a raised position above the town and is clearly recognizable as the dominant structure from this perspective. Overall, Steyr is a worthwhile destination for a bike tour or a detour from the main route.

A bit off the beaten track but still worth seeing still in a deep sleep

There is a separate floor for bicycles.

Today, the BMW engine plant in Steyr stands on the site of the former warehouse.

After 1945, the camp barracks were partly used by displaced people from Gablonz.

The Steyr-Münichholz district was built by prisoners of the Münichholz subcamp of Mauthausen concentration camp as a model housing project of Nazi residential architecture. Housing was required, among other things, by the nearby armaments factories (ball bearings, aircraft engines), which, after the end of World War II, became part of the Steyr-Daimler-Puch factories: "Kugellager-Werke" (now SKF) and Gusswerk Steyr (now AIC).
