The wagon commemorates the fate of the concentration camp inmates who were carried off to the nearby Bergen-Belsen concentration camp with these wagons. They had to walk the last few kilometers. Many of them lost their lives during the trip, which lasted several days.

The "Wagon" memorial site in Bergen-Belsen commemorates the deportations of prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates during the Nazi era. Between 1940 and 1945, tens of thousands of people were transported to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp via the loading ramp on the outskirts of the town. A covered freight car now stands at this site as a memorial. It was erected in 2002 on the initiative of the Bergen-Belsen Working Group. It originated from the museum railway in Weyhe-Leeste and was restored by Bundeswehr soldiers in Bergen-Hohne.
