The construction of a memorial on the site of the former Sachsenburg concentration camp near Frankenberg can continue seamlessly until 2028. According to Culture Minister Barbara Klepsch (CDU), a solution has been found for the approximately 1.7 million euros required in addition to the previous planning. The money "has been reserved for the Sachsenburg Memorial and the financing is currently being arranged in a cabinet procedure", she said. The project is thus secured until 2028.
The Sachsenburg concentration camp memorial is considered an important place of remembrance of the early phase of the Nazi regime in the Free State. According to Klepsch, the costs for the entire project with the Path of Remembrance and memorial site now amount to around 6.9 million euros. Originally, five million euros were planned for their construction, financed equally by the federal and state governments.
