A tour that brings memory into the urban space
The Public Curators' Tour with Dr. Maximilian Strnad will take place on October 17, 2026, at the Memorial Site Flachsröste Lohhof and offers both a historical and emotional access to the history of forced labor during the Nazi regime in Unterschleißheim. The tour starts at 10:30 AM at the monument near Lohhof Station and lasts about one and a half hours; participation is free and registration is not required.

History that speaks at the site itself
The memorial site was handed over to the public in 2023 and is designed as a three-part ensemble in the urban space: monument, path of remembrance, and virtual place of learning. The tour makes this concept tangible on-site and leads from the bus stop or the area of Lohhof South Station along the path of remembrance to the digital access. Thus, the contemplation of the work in an extended sense is combined with precise historical communication. ([denkmal-lohhof.de](https://www.denkmal-lohhof.de/?utm_source=openai))
Curatorial perspective with scientific depth
Dr. Maximilian Strnad is a historian in Munich and has been intensively researching the history of the Holocaust and Nazi forced labor for many years. He has been researching the Flachsröste Lohhof since 2011, published the study Flax for the Reich in 2013, and curated the memorial site together with artist Kirsten Zeitz on behalf of the city of Unterschleißheim. Thus, the tour not only offers historical information but also an insight into the curation of a public memorial site. ([sfi.usc.edu](https://sfi.usc.edu/content/maximilian-strnad?utm_source=openai))
A place of learning for youth and adults
The event is suitable for individuals aged 15 and older and takes place in German in the public street space. The focus is on the concept of the site, the biographies of former forced laborers, and the question of how memory remains visible in everyday life. This tour is particularly valuable for cultural education with a contemporary reference as it links knowledge, site experience, and aesthetic experience.

Conclusion: A quiet, powerful artistic experience of memory
Anyone interested in public space art, museum education, and contemporary history will not experience a classic museum visit here, but a concentrated walk through a living memorial sign. The public curators' tour makes visible how careful curation, historical research, and artistic design shape a place of remembrance. A visit is definitely worthwhile as it deepens knowledge and makes the significance of democratic memory directly tangible.
