Concentration Camp Moringen

The memorial complex includes a library, archive facilities, and exhibition spaces documenting the history of three concentration camps that operated between 1933 and 1945.

The site transformed from a workhouse to three consecutive concentration camps, starting with a male camp, followed by a women's facility, and ending as a youth detention center.

The memorial functions as an educational center where teachers guide visitors through exhibits that detail the experiences of political prisoners, religious minorities, and young detainees.

Located 100 kilometers south of Hannover, the memorial maintains a comprehensive archive accessible through advance reservations by contacting info@gedenkstaette-moringen.de or +49(0)5554-2520.

The facility holds records of medical experiments conducted by SS doctors who attempted to prove genetic links to criminal behavior, leading to forced sterilizations of youth inmates.
