Frøslevlejrens Museum, World War II prison camp museum in Aabenraa Municipality, Denmark.
Description
Frøslevlejrens Museum is a World War II German internment facility located in Aabenraa Municipality. The site preserves original prisoner barracks, a watchtower, and several exhibition buildings that document conditions and daily routines that existed from 1944 to 1945.
History
The site opened in 1944 as a German military prison holding Danish resistance fighters and political prisoners through the war's end. After 1945, the location briefly served under Danish control to detain people accused of wartime collaboration before eventually closing.
Culture
The museum displays personal belongings, photographs, and letters from prisoners that show what daily life was actually like inside the camp. These items help visitors understand the experiences of individuals who were held here.
Practical
The museum is located in Padborg and is easily accessible by car with parking available on-site. Visitors should allow several hours to walk through the preserved buildings and read the exhibition displays thoroughly.
Did you know?
After the war ended, the facility continued operating under Danish control to hold people suspected of assisting the occupiers. This lesser-discussed chapter reveals how the location shifted to a completely different purpose in the years immediately following 1945.
