The German federal government will invest €21.8 million in two Holocaust memorial sites, Dachau and Flossenbürg, as part of the KulturInvest programme. The funding, approved in the 2026 federal budget, covers 17.5 million euros for the ‘Lernen am Ort – Lernen vom Ort’ project at Dachau, which will transform the reconstructed barracks into a modern learning and exhibition centre. In Flossenbürg, 4.3 million euros will support the conversion of a former SS administration building into a memorial space. The total costs are €38.8 million for Dachau and €8.9 million for Flossenbürg. The minister of culture, Wolfram Weimer, emphasised that memorials are a cornerstone of democratic memory and that the federal government will continue to safeguard them. The new memorial concept, adopted by the cabinet on 12 November, underscores this commitment.
