The inscription reads: Während des Dreißigjährigen Krieges im Jahr 1632 herrschte in den Ortschaften der Umgebung die Pest.

Viele Menschen starben an dieser Krankheit und wurden hier an diesem stillen Ort in Massengräbern bestattet.

Stephanskirchen and the newly developed workers and day labourer housing estate Hofleiten became autonoumous political communities through the Bavarian administrative reform of the year 1818.

Due to the social differences fierce conflicts between parts of the community persisted until the late 19th century.

Between 1944 and March 31, 1945 in the district Haidholzen there was a subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp housing around 6000 prisoners.

Polish (Jewish), Russian and French concentration camp prisoners were captured in a large barrack settlement within the area.

One main building of this concentration camp exists until today; since 1947 there are manufacturing facilities of a candy factory.

By command of Heinrich Himmler an evacuation into rearward concentration camps started in March and April 1945 during which many prisoners died due to exhaustion or being shot by the SS.

[4] After the end of World War II around 1500 refugees and expellees came to Stephanskirchen and founded the settlement Haidholzen close to the former so called "flak casern" (propaganda term, even used after WWII).
