It was the former grounds of the first Nazi Concentration Camp. It served as a model for other camps. There are several religious memorials within the Memorial Site. There is no charge to visit.

Between February and April 1945 8 mass graves were dug at Leitenberg and 4318 dead prisoners were buried in these graves because the capacity of the crematorium was unable to deal with the numbers dying in the overcrowded concentration camp of Dachau. During the liberation of the concentration camp of Dachau on April 29th 1945 US Soldiers discovered another 2000 dead prisoners and these were also buried in two additional mass graves on the Leitenberg. In the sixties the bavarian government closed other concentration camp cemeteries and relocated about 1200 dead to this cemetery. Today 7439 prisoners lie buried in this cemetery.
