Klinkerwerk, Former brick factory in Bergedorf, Germany

The Klinkerwerk facility consists of multiple buildings with a tall chimney and production halls designed for manufacturing clinker bricks near the Elbe River.

The SS acquired the site in September 1938 through their company Deutsche Erd- und Steinwerke GmbH to produce construction materials for Hamburg's expansion.

The eastern section contains an exhibition detailing the forced labor conditions and brick production methods during the concentration camp period.

The structure underwent several modifications after the war, with parts transformed into boat storage facilities while other sections remain closed for safety reasons.

The facility included experimental tunnel kilns and wet pressing equipment to test new production methods, though these attempts proved largely unsuccessful.
