Memorial Wolffenbüttel Prison, Prison memorial in Wolfenbüttel, Germany
The memorial site occupies a section of the historical prison building, featuring illuminated walls displaying names of execution victims between 1937 and 1945.
The prison structure, dating from 1790, transformed from a 16th-century fortress into a central execution facility during the National Socialist period.
