The Memorial Room at Topolšica, some 12 kilometres from Velenje, commemorates the unconditional surrender of German forces in south eastern Europe at the end of World War II. On 9 May 1945 General Alexander Löhr, Commandant of the E Group of armed forces and Commandant for the South East, signed an agreement here surrendering his units unconditionally. Visitors can view a documentary film on the event. With this document the Second World War ended for Slovenians. Behind the glass wall is a reconstruction of signing of capitulation that was one of the most important event on our territory during the Second World War. One of the main curiosities of the collection is also a gun of general Löhr that was confiscated only a few days after the signing of the capitulation by Ivan Dolničar. Surrender signed in health resort of Topolščica was one of four partial surrenders of German army at the end of the Second World War. Memorial room is managed by Velenje Museum and can be visited around the clock every day of the year for free.
