Stiftung Bayerische Gedenkstätten

The Stiftung Bayerische Gedenkstätten is a foundation that, since its founding on 1 January 2003, has carried responsibility for the Dachau and Flossenbürg concentration camp memorial sites. Before that, the Free State itself, or the Bavarian Administration of State Palaces, Gardens and Lakes, was responsible for these two memorial sites in Bavaria. The foundation was established on the premise that remembrance of National Socialist injustice is not to be understood solely as a state task but as a task for society as a whole. It is conceived as a foundation under public law.

The Stiftung Bayerische Gedenkstätten was founded on 1 January 2003. Since its founding, it has carried responsibility for the Dachau and Flossenbürg concentration camp memorial sites. Before that, the Free State itself, or the Bavarian Administration of State Palaces, Gardens and Lakes, was responsible for these two significant memorial sites in Bavaria. The starting point for the foundation's establishment was the basic premise that remembrance of National Socialist injustice is not to be understood solely as a state task; it is rather a task that confronts society as a whole. The memorial foundation is fundamentally conceived as a foundation under public law.
