Wow, real works of art

During the Nazi era, from August 1943 to March 1945, a labor education camp was located in the Römhild quarry, in which a maximum of around 400 "foreign ethnic" forced laborers who had violated their contracts were interned. The prisoners had to work in the basalt quarry or in the basalt works at Römhild train station. They were also used to build bunkers and positions in Mendhausen and, for a time, in the craft and trade sectors in Römhild and the surrounding area. It must be assumed that at least 500 prisoners died in the camp or on the evacuation march in 1945. This includes 25 to 92 prisoners who were unable to march and were shot in a sand cave on the eastern slope of the Grosser Gleichberg. The cave entrance was then blown up, meaning that the mass grave was not found until the end of January 1947. According to the official death lists, by the end of March 1945, 44 prisoners were buried in the lower forest cemetery on the eastern slope of the Grosser Gleichberg, 64 in the upper forest cemetery and 61 in the municipal cemetery, where a memorial stands in a grove of honor.

The free car park is at the end of Basaltwerkstrasse. It is best to park on the left side of the road. We parked on the right and stood in the full summer heat in the afternoon. The small Liegelberg shelter is a great place to stop. There you will find brochures about the Gleichberg area as well as helpful hiking trail signs. We found this place to be very lovingly laid out and detailed. It is a pleasure to look at this place.
