Brandenburg Euthanasia Centre
Brandenburg Euthanasia Centre, Nazi euthanasia center in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany
The facility occupies a former prison complex with brick buildings, containing a gas chamber disguised as a medical treatment room and mobile cremation furnaces.
Between January and October 1940, medical staff under Dr. Irmfried Eberl systematically murdered more than 9,000 disabled persons using carbon monoxide gas.
The permanent exhibition, established in 2012, presents victims' biographies, medical records, and testimonies to document the systematic murder of patients from psychiatric hospitals.
The memorial center contains digital archives, documentation rooms, and interactive displays allowing visitors to examine perpetrator and victim records from the facility.
Brandenburg Euthanasia Centre served as the first location where Nazi officials developed and tested gas chamber execution methods before implementing them in concentration camps.
