Commemoration event on the Day of Mourning in Burghausen © City of Burghausen

There are numerous places of remembrance in Burghausen.

In addition to the two cemeteries in Burghausen's old town and the Marienberg district of Burghausen, the Burghausen concentration camp cemetery is also one of the places of remembrance. A plaque here commemorates the fate of 253 unknown prisoners from the concentration camp branch in Mettenheim near Mühldorf, who were laid to rest in Burghausen.

A memorial on the Napoleonshöhe in Burghausen's old town commemorates the fallen of both world wars and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71.

In Neustadt, parts of the Berlin Wall reflect the history of Germany between 1961 and 1989. There is a memorial on the factory premises of Wacker Chemie AG that commemorates three colleagues. They were shot a few days before the end of the war in 1945 because of their resistance to National Socialism. In the botanical garden, stumbling blocks and a large plaque commemorate the fate of the Galitzenstein family, who had to flee Germany during National Socialist rule.
