Kriegergedächtniskapelle
Kriegergedächtniskapelle stands in Landsberg am Lech as a chapel and war memorial for local people lost during the world wars. Its quiet setting connects remembrance with the city’s Catholic and historical landscape.
The building began as a leprosy chapel before becoming a memorial site. Today, local religious ceremonies and commemorative gatherings keep its purpose present in community life. During the annual Corpus Christi procession, the route reaches the chapel, turns there, and continues towards the city centre. An altar at the chapel forms one of several stops organised by the parishes of Mariä Himmelfahrt and Zu den Heiligen Engeln.
Memorial plaques and city records preserve the names of war victims, including Eduard Pflanz, who died in April 1945. The chapel’s former life as a leprosy chapel gives this place a visible link between changing community needs and enduring remembrance.
