Dachau concentration camp fence
Dachau concentration camp fence, Memorial site in Dachau, Germany
The concentration camp fence forms part of the preserved perimeter that enclosed the main detention area, complete with watchtowers and electrical barriers.
The fence installation began in 1933 when the National Socialist government established this first regular concentration camp, designed to imprison political dissidents.
The memorial site includes both the preserved fence structure and educational exhibits that document the imprisonment of over 200,000 individuals between 1933 and 1945.
Visitors can access the memorial site daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the documentation center.
The fence structure contains the original entrance gate with metalwork text, which later appeared at other concentration camps across German-controlled territories.
