[citation needed] In 1437 Hans Multscher crafted the Landsberg Virgin and Child as the main figures of an altar.

[4] In the outskirts of this town existed a concentration camp, where over 30,000 victims were imprisoned under inhuman conditions, resulting in the death of around 14,500 of them.

Also belonging to Landsberg are the hamlets of Sandau and Pössing as well as the former independent boroughs of Ellighofen, Erpfting (with Friedheim, Geratshof and Mittelstetten), Pitzling (with Pöring) and Reisch (with Thalhofen).

[6] After the liberation, it became a displaced person (DP) camp, primarily for Jewish refugees from the Soviet Union and the Baltic states.

In December 2019, Israeli academic and translator Ilana Hammerman wrote of the difficulties she encountered in trying to visit the site of the concentration camp and to find the memorial to the victims.

She noted that "[f]or decades after the war, local residents and the authorities endeavored to ignore its existence and consign it to oblivion".

Jahrhundert are working on commemorating this part of history and established based on donations the European Holocaust Memorial on the former concentration camp Kaufering VII.
