After the end of the war, concentration camp survivors indicated the mass graves of the Kaufering VII subcamp to the east of the Landsberg district of Erpfting. In October 1945, work was started on a concentration camp cemetery. When the responsibility for the concentration camp grave sites was transferred to the Bavarian State Compensation Office (BLEA), the location was redesigned and officially dedicated in 1950. Immediately to the south of the concentration camp cemetery, a Jewish cemetery was laid out.

According to estimates of the Landsberg District Administration office, approximately 2,000 Jewish dead are interred in nine burial grounds in the concentration camp cemetery. Their names and places of origin are unknown. Five former concentration camp prisoners, who died in displaced persons camps following their liberation, were buried in the adjoining Jewish cemetery. They were reburied in the concentration camps cemetery in 1982 and the Jewish cemetery was closed.

On a granite plinth opposite the entrance to the cemetery, rests the four-metre high memorial in shell limestone. It has a sacrificial bowl placed on it and on the front there is a glass-mosaic Star of David and an inscription.
