The "Memorial of the 53" in Leipzig-Lindenthal commemorates a Nazi crime committed on April 12, 1945: At that time, 52 prisoners from Leipzig prisons were shot and buried by the Gestapo on the parade ground in the Tannenwald forest. After the war, the victims were exhumed and buried in a communal grave with 53 coffins on May 5, 1945. In 1954, a memorial with a grove of honor and steles commemorating the murdered victims was created at the authentic site. The complex has been a listed monument since 2005 and was most recently restored in 2020. The Alliance Greens parliamentary group in Leipzig is committed to preserving the memorials to Nazi crimes. A special tour of "Discovering Green Corners" can be found here. This stop was created as part of the "Discovering Green Corners" tour "Leipzig's Northwest" by the Alliance 90/The Greens parliamentary group https://www.gruene-ecken-entdecken.de/leipzig/leipzigs-nordwesten.html

The monument to Hofmeister Hermann Tauer is quite hidden in the wilderness. You should take your time looking for it, otherwise you'll miss it. It will be even more difficult to find in summer. Vegetation has increased significantly over the last eight years.
