Priest Barracks of Dachau Concentration Camp, Concentration camp barracks in Dachau, Germany.
The Priest Barracks consisted of blocks 26, 28, and 30 within Dachau concentration camp, designated specifically for imprisoned religious leaders.
From 1940, Berlin ordered the transfer of all detained clergy to Dachau, making it the central detention facility for over 2,720 religious prisoners.
The Vatican negotiated permission for limited religious services within a chapel, allowing imprisoned clergy to maintain some form of spiritual practice.
The barracks site maintains preserved structures and educational exhibits detailing the experiences of religious prisoners during the Nazi regime.
Records indicate that 94.88 percent of detained clergy were Catholic, with Polish priests forming the largest national group among religious prisoners.
