Research

You are searching for missing relatives or require information on their war captivity?

Since the 1990s we have been identifying and collecting information on captivity circumstances of war prisoners buried on the camp cemetery (today Cemetery of Honor of Soviet war victims). Several years ago name steles have been set up on the Cemetery of Honor of Soviet war victims. More than 15,000 names of deceased war prisoners were able to be allocated to this cemetery.

The employees of the Memorial Site will be pleased to support you with your research.
Please contact us by mail or send us an email to: search@stalag326.de.

Inquiries can be written in Russian, French or English.

For supporting your research we need the following information of you:

1. Name, first name and, if possible, the father’s name of the requested person.
2. Please send us date of birth and death, if known. As well as place of birth and death.
3. Maybe you are in the possession of documents, pictures or information on the missing person requested by you. Please send us a copy or link to the documents.
4. Please give us information on the degree of relatedness towards the missing person. In addition, we require your name, first name as well as address and telephone number.

For starting a research inquiry, please send us a written inquiry instead of calling us by phone.
On weekends the Memorial Site is closed.
In case you would like to visit us in person, we ask you to make an appointment several days in advance of your visit.

Please, be patient

Right now, we are receiving up to 100 inquiries annually. The research for documents and information may consume a lot of time in specific cases. For this reason, we kindly ask you to understand that the processing of your inquiry can optionally take 2 to 4 weeks.

Please take into acount that your inquiry will be processed by volunteers. The volunteers are not able to attend the Memorial Site every day.

Thanks in advance for your understanding!
