Democracy in the parking lot:
Standstill, arrival or departure

Discussion and guidance

What does an inconspicuous parking lot have to do with democracy? More than you might think. This is precisely where the question of responsibility arises – to act or not to act, then as now.

At a meeting in the parking lot, we will look at the history of the former Kaufering VII subcamp after 1945. The historical site provides impetus for a discussion about democracy, its dangers and our responsibility in the present.

The free NaziCrimesAtlas app accompanies the in-depth historical study.

EVENT:

• Friday, March 20, 2026, 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
• The event on March 20 will take place in the open air.
• Location: In the parking lot on Erpftinger Straße between Landsberg am Lech and Erpfting, Kaufering subcamp VII
• Access is only barrier-free to a limited extent.
• Participation free of charge.
• From 14 years

An event as part of the “History of Democracy Day”

From March 18 to 21, 2026, under the patronage of Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, events will be held nationwide for the first time to mark the Day of Democratic History.

March 18 stands for the German struggle for democracy like no other date: from the Mainz Republic in 1793 to the revolution of 1848 to the first free Volkskammer election in the GDR in 1990. In 2026, this day will be celebrated nationwide for the first time as “Democracy History Day” – with over 250 exhibitions, guided tours, discussions and other events.
Be there!
