The Virtual Learning Site in the flax field is within sight of the former Flachsröste Lohhof, at the corner of Carl-von-Linde-Straße and Johann-Kotschwara-Straße. A stele with a QR code provides access to a virtual reconstruction of the flax-roasting facility, as well as historical information and photographs.

The 500-metre-long Path of Remembrance connects the memorial with the learning site and is a permanent part of the place of remembrance. The named path, virtual reconstruction and historical content thus form a coherent thematic complex.
