Introduction

Way from the parking-lot to the Memorial Site

The virtual tour offers future visitors the chance to receive an overview of the memorial site and the remaining traces of the former concentration camp. The tour includes the most important stations, which can then later be found when touring the memorial site in person. An introduction to the current exhibitions can be found under “Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site/Exhibitions.” Visitors should clear two and a half hours time for a complete tour of the memorial site. One should plan to spend the first half of the visit touring the main exhibition in the former maintenance building. The main exhibition includes an overview of the history of Dachau Concentration Camp and highlights the original utilizations of the exhibition rooms. The rest of the time can be spent viewing the grounds and the supplementary exhibitions in the bunker, the model barrack, and the crematorium.

Note

The virtual tour gives a first overview of the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site by using 360° panorama images. A -symbol at the end of a page indicates whenever a panorama image is available.

For viewing the images please make sure you have an appropriate version of Java installed. If required you can download the Java Plug-In at the Website of Sun Microsystems. For viewing the panorama images, Java or Java Applets must be enabled. We would like to thank Prof. Helmut Dersch (FH Furtwangen), whose software PTViewer is used to present the panorama images.
