A former branch of the concentration camp Neuengamme near Hamburg is located in the small North Frisian community of Ladelund close to the Danish border. In the winter of 1944 more than 300 of the approx. 2.000 internees lost their lives. The memorial offers a report on the events: Since 1990 the exhibition “concentration camp Ladelund 1944” is presented. A meeting centre is associated. The village cemetery with the graves of the people who lost their lives in the camp is close to the memorial. A footpath leads to the former camp grounds.
Guided tours are offered by appointment. A catalogue is available in German, Danish, Dutch and English: some of the internees came from Putten in the Netherlands.
