At the upper end of the newly redesigned natural cemetery in Golling an der Salzach is the war memorial of the community. Next to a covered military stone fresco, two commemorative plaques with the names of the fallen soldiers of both world wars are attached. To the right of this, there is also a metal commemorative plaque that remembers the deceased prisoners of war and forced laborers. According to the NS victim camp list of the Federal Agency for the Preservation of Historical Monuments, there were prisoner-of-war and forced labor camps in Golling, whose inmates were used as foreign labor forces, mainly for the construction industry (among other things for the “Organisation Speer” and the construction of the Ofenauer tunnel).
