The Deutsch Schützen massacre was a 1945 mass killing of approximately 60 Jewish forced laborers by the Waffen-SS in Deutsch Schützen-Eisenberg in Austria. At the old church, Martinskirche, in the farmland on the west side of Deutsch Schützen, a plaque is erected on the exterior of the building memorializing those murdered in the massacre.
