Monuments and Sights

Near Wöbbelin, on the road to Ludwigslust, a concentration camp was established during World War II. The subcamp of Neuengamme concentration camp existed for only ten weeks, from February 12 to May 2, 1945.

In the short time of its existence, the Wöbbelin concentration camp was a reception camp for more than 5000 victims of the Hitler regime. These came from more than 20 countries, including many Jewish people. Most of the prisoners had already been imprisoned for a long time, were undernourished and often psychologically traumatized. More than 1000 of them starved to death or died as a result of their imprisonment. Today, numerous documents in the memorial site bear witness to "Ten Weeks in the Wöbbelin Subcamp".
Since 2005, the suffering of the prisoners of the Wöbbelin subcamp has also been commemorated by a memorial on the site where the former camp grounds were located. The area, made of black clinker bricks with cracks reminiscent of broken open wounds, is located somewhat off the main road. At the edge of the memorial site, embedded stones with 783 names and 43 numbers commemorate the victims.
