Landsberg, Spöttinger cemetery
In total, there are over 300 tombs on its ground which include normal inmates, victims of the Nazis as well as Nazi war criminals which had been sentenced to death and executed.
Landsberg prison was the place of execution of nearly 300 condemned war criminals. 259 death sentences were conducted by hanging and 29 by firing squad. Part of these executed were transferred to cemeteries close to their families, the rest was buried here.
Since January 2003 the city of Landsberg decided to disengage the cemetery in order to avoid Neo-Nazis to come here. All name plaques were removed and there should be no kind of commemoration for the buried, which strangely also includes the victims of the Nazis alike.
