Lager Friedland, Transit camp in Friedland, Germany
The refugee camp spans across several buildings and facilities, serving as a reception center for individuals seeking asylum in Lower Saxony.
Established in September 1945 under British administration, the camp processed millions of displaced persons, soldiers, and refugees following World War II.
The camp functions as a meeting point where individuals from various backgrounds receive support while maintaining their traditions and customs.
Located 13 kilometers south of Göttingen, the facility provides temporary accommodation, medical care, and administrative services for asylum seekers.
Between 1950 and 1987, the camp received approximately 1.4 million ethnic Germans, with over 60 percent arriving from Poland.
