A tour that makes memory visible
The public curator tour at the memorial site Flax Processing Lohhof offers a powerful access to a place where history continues to live on in urban space. On October 17, 2026, Dr. Maximilian Strnad will guide the participants from the monument at Lohhof train station along the path of remembrance to the virtual learning site, connecting the observation of the work in a broader sense with historical context and cultural education.

A place where the past becomes readable in space
The memorial site was opened to the public in 2023 and commemorates the people who were subjected to forced labor in the Flax Processing Lohhof. The concept links urban space, monument, path guidance, and digital communication into a precise form of remembrance culture that does not end in a museum hall but incorporates the everyday life of the city.

Curatorial perspective and historical depth
Dr. Maximilian Strnad is a historian at Publik History in the Culture Department of the City of Munich, earned his doctorate from LMU Munich, and has been working for many years on Jewish history, National Socialism, the Holocaust, and remembrance culture.

Bridging research and the public
The tour is in German, lasts about an hour and a half, is aimed at participants aged 15 and above, and does not require registration. According to the event page, the tour is free of charge. This creates an accessible entry to a complex historical topic, which unfolds its special effect through the combination of research, experiential learning, and conversation.

The City Museum as a lively place of learning
The City Museum Unterschleißheim sees itself as an interactive place for knowledge transfer, inspiration, and encounter. In addition to the local history department, the collection Graf Unterschleißheim especially shapes the artistic perspective on the city; art tours, painting and drawing courses, and museum educational offerings are also available. Regular opening hours and non-accessible facilities are important for planning a visit. ([forum-unterschleissheim.de](https://www.forum-unterschleissheim.de/museum.html))
Those who visit this tour do not experience a mere site inspection, but an aesthetic and historical experience of great intensity. The connection of research, remembrance, and public space makes the event an important contribution to cultural education. A visit is definitely worthwhile because here memory does not remain abstract, but becomes spatial, human, and immediately experiential.
