The former "Square of the Lindentree" was renamed in the year 1946 to "Resistance Square" (Widerstandsplatz) to commemorate the Dachau Uprising and honor those who gave their lives.
A commemorative plaque for the victims of the Dachau Uprising is located closeby in front of the bank (Sparkasse).

Leitenberg hill, used as a mass grave by the SS, is the final resting place of 7,609 prisoners of the concentration camp.
All of the mass graves were exhumed by a French association searching for war victims during 1955-1959. Identified victims were transferred to their homelands, while the other bodies were buried again on the Leitenberg hill.
The Memorial Cemetery was consecrated in 1949 and the Memorial Hall was completed in 1951. The “Regina Pacis” chapel was erected in 1963 to commemorate all the Italians who died in the concentration camps. In 1999 a memorial for the Polish victims was set up as well.

Fifteen of sculptor Gunter Demning’s "Stolpersteine" or stumbling stones have been set in the pavements of Dachau since November 2005. The brass blocks are in front of three houses which at one time were the homes of Jews. They have been laid in commemoration of their occupants who were driven out of Dachau during the Night of Broken Glass of 1938 and later murdered in concentration camps.
