Leipzig

As part of our corporate culture, we would like to invite you to take a look at the history of the UFZ site in Leipzig.

About the Memorial

The museum commemorates the victims, injustices and history of the use of forced labour by the NS in Leipzig and the consequences of this practice. Located on the premises of HASAG – formerly the biggest weapons manufacturer of Saxony – the museum commemorates the wartime experience of thousands of civilian forced labourers, prisoners of war and internees of concentration camps in the Leipzig region.

The Museum provides an information centre for former forced labourers and their relatives, researches previously neglected aspects of the topic and collects historical documents. Furthermore, guided tours are offered to report on the history of the science park site and of forced labour in Leipzig, Germany and Europe.
