Kaltenkirchen Concentration Camp Memorial
Nützen, Germany, Germany
The Kaltenkirchen Concentration Camp Memorial in Nützen, near Kaltenkirchen, Germany, commemorates a subcamp of Neuengamme established in August 1944 in the Springhirsch district, where over 500 male prisoners were forced to expand a Luftwaffe airfield runway under brutal conditions, with around 190 deaths from exhaustion, disease, and abuse. Housed in existing Luftwaffe barracks and guarded by SS officers and soldiers, the site operated until its evacuation on April 17, 1945, to Wöbbelin camp, with a cemetery for victims established in 1978 and expanded into a full memorial by 2021 featuring exhibitions, memorial stones, and a preserved parade ground marker.
