A tour that makes history visible
The Public Tour at the Flax Roasting Memorial Site Lohhof takes place on June 13, 2026, at 10:30 AM in Unterschleißheim, at a location where local history, culture of remembrance, and historical responsibility come together in an impressive way. The tour highlights the forced labor in the Flax Roasting Lohhof and makes the three-part memorial site with its path of remembrance and the virtual learning site experienceable. The city of Unterschleißheim describes the memorial site as an important project for the public perception of the city's history; the tours are free of charge.

History to touch
The tour opens immediate access to a chapter of regional history that has long been in the background: forced labor in the Flax Roasting Lohhof. Historian Dr. Maximilian Strnad accompanies the project both in content and pedagogy, developed the concept of the memorial site together with artist Kirsten Zeitz, and has been researching this topic intensively since 2011. For visitors, this creates a discovery experience with clear professional classification and high historical depth.

Route between Station, Memorial Site, and Learning Place
The well-known route of the public tours leads from the monument at Lohhof Station along the path of remembrance to the virtual learning site. Thus, the tour connects visible places in the city with a modern presentation offering that makes history vivid and understandable. The memorial site is designed as a three-part ensemble and, according to the city's information, was officially completed as a project with tours and educational offerings in 2024.
