Stalag VII A Moosburg
Moosburg a.d. Isar (Bavaria) was the site of one of the largest POW camps in the former German Reich, Stalag VII A, from 1939-45 during World War II. More than 150,000 POWs were registered in this camp and deployed in work detachments in the southern Bavarian region. After the war, it served as an internment camp, and from 1948 the site was used for settlement by expellees.
The Stalag Moosburg e.V. association aims to research and document the history of the POW camp and its subsequent developments. With international and intercultural meetings with citizens, visitors and relatives of former prisoners of war, events and projects the association wants to help to preserve the historical heritage of the town in a way that is appropriate for the present and the future. On this website, the association brings together information from a variety of sources for citizens and visitors.
