Memorial Site Lagerstraße Stalag XVIIIA Wolfsberg

The German Wehrmacht referred to large prisoner-of-war camps established on German soil for the internment of soldiers of the opposing powers as "Stammlager," abbreviated as "Stalag." In Wolfsberg, one of the Stammlager of Wehrkreis XVIII (Salzburg), the "Stalag XVIII A," was located. Starting in March 1941, prisoners of war from various nations were accommodated here. In the post-war period, the British occupying authorities used the camp to intern German war criminals and functionaries of the National Socialist regime from Styria and Carinthia. In 2013, an information panel was erected on the site, displaying historical photographs, a plan of the former camp, and a text introducing the historical context in German, French, English, and Russian. In 2022, the area was completely redesigned into a larger and more noticeable memorial site with seating areas. The 2013 information panel was integrated into the memorial ensemble.
