Wehrmacht prison Anklam, Military prison in Anklam, Germany.
Located west of Friedlander Straße in southern Anklam, this military prison complex includes individual cells, group cells, and a death row section in the basement.
Constructed in 1940 during Nazi Germany, this facility was one of eight Wehrmacht prisons used for detaining military personnel accused of various offenses against military law.
The prison structure reflects the military justice system of World War II Germany, with its architecture demonstrating the rigid hierarchical organization of that period.
The Foundation Center for Peace Work now manages the site, which contains a permanent exhibition about the prison's history and functions as a center for peace work.
Between 1941 and 1945, the prison conducted 139 documented executions, with records showing approximately 120 prisoners received clemency during this same period.
