    Burg Vogelsang

    General location plan Burg Vogelsang, 2009
    The NS-Ordensburg Vogelsang is a former training camp of the NSDAP in the German Eifel, near the Belgian border in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.


    The concept of Ordensburg arose in response to the need of the party and the state administration to acquire stronger symbols from German history and to give them a different explanation ideologically. Three such fortresses were built to retrain the military elite of the Third Reich in particular, this fortress, the Ordensburg Sonthofen and the Ordensburg Krössinsee. Each castle had a special assignment in the training.

    A place steeped in history, the former Nazi order castle. In addition to the NS exhibition, there is a very beautiful nature park exhibition "Wildlife Dreams".
