Fifty metres north, after crossing the Stone Bridge, you can see a stone monument on a little square, a few metres further, there are two man-sized steles. All three of them give information about the outpost of the concentration camp Flossenbürg (one hour north from here), which was established in the dance hall of a big inn on March 1945, after a major air-raid on the train station. (The word COLOSSEUM in capital letters attached to one of the buildings tells you in which building the inn was). 450 prisoners had to clear away the debris and take care of the undetonated bombs and fix the tracks. The men came from seventeen countries, the biggest numbers from Poland and Russia, but also quite a few from Belgium, France, and Germany, about every third person was Jewish.

Conditions both in the hall and by the tracks were sheer horror, about 45 prisoners died within a few weeks. The end of the camp came on April 23, 1945, when the SS guards marched all the surviving prisoners across the Stone Bridge. After that, three arches of the bridge were blown up, so that the approaching US troops would not be able to readily cross the Danube. The prisoners were forced on a death march towards Austria. When they were liberated by US troops on May 2nd, there were not even 50 of the original 450 prisoners alive.

The steles have been standing here since 2016 and the stone monument goes back to 1994. Under the caption "never again" in Hebrew letters there is some general information about the Colosseum camp, plus the opening paragraph of the postwar German constitution (Grundgesetz): "The dignity of man is inviolable."
