Arbeitslager Schöneweide

Museums
Nr. 007 · Schöneweide

A forgotten group of victims from the Nazis is the forced laborers. Since a couple of years there is a, although remote, excellent documentation centre that shows (in a German thorough way) how much pain was caused in those days.

The former labor camp Schöneweide is one of the few that has been almost entirely preserved. It has permanent and temporary exhibitions, that are so elaborate you can easily spend a couple of hours there. Great history lesson.

Located a ten-minute walk from S-Bahnhof Schöneweide in the south-east of the city.
