Memorial at former "detention camp" in Frauenkirchen

In March 1938, a "detention camp" was set up in the former building of the Esterházy estate administration by local Nazis. For about two months, approximately 400 people, political opponents and members of the Jewish population from Frauenkirchen and the surrounding area, were held, humiliated, and beaten by the SA and gendarmerie. During the detention, in particular, the businesses of the Jewish population were looted. The detainees were forced to sign a declaration of renunciation, obliging them to hand over their property to the state and to leave their hometown of Frauenkirchen. Only after this signature were they allowed to leave the "detention camp."

On March 12, 2018, thanks to the efforts of the memorial association Initiative Erinnern Frauenkirchen, a memorial plaque was unveiled in front of the building of the HAK/HAS Frauenkirchen.
