\nTwo of the four participants in this discussion have since passed away: Manfred Deiler on November 12, 2023, and Dr. Edith Raim on July 1, 2025. Their contributions thus bear witness to a generation that has come to terms with and passed on the legacy of Landsberg’s Nazi history. The video document and the authorized transcription remain accessible as a primary source. Due to current events, we have revised the sound quality of the 2026 video recording and re-recorded the contribution. <\/p>\n

The occasion<\/h2>\n

On Saturday, August 14, 2021, members of the Munich regional group of the “Omas gegen Rechts” initiative came to Landsberg am Lech for a stocktaking and protest action.
\nThe reason for the protest was the planned naming of a new building in the “Urbanes Leben am Papierbach” residential area as the “Karl Schrem Building”. Karl Schrem (1895-1981) was the director of the former Bayerische Pflugfabrik – an armaments factory with forced labor during the Second World War – and a member of the NSDAP since 1938. <\/p>\n

The public justification strategies, trivialization and condoning by the town, the press, letters to the editor and social media have caused concern outside Landsberg. In addition to a tour of the former Kaufering VII subcamp, a discussion on the situation and status of Landsberg’s culture of remembrance took place at dieKunstBauStelle e.V. in the evening. <\/p>\n

The discussion is reproduced here as video documentation. An edited transcription of the contributions to the discussion, authorized by all participants, is available. <\/p>\n
