Abstract
The main focus is the question, which parts of the buildings are original and which ones were built later during the set up of the memorial. The very close building phases during the Second World War, the beginning of the set up of the memorial 1947-49 and changes around 1970 have to be separated. In addition to the analyses of the building history, dendrochronology will be used. The different building phases should be sorted out with the help of dendrochronological dating of the construction timber.
