Tips
Up to 1000 prisoners of war were mainly from Belgium in the POW camp of the First World War. Later prisoners from other nations also came. She had to drain the nearby Postmoor and make it arable. There is a Bohlweg there today that can be used to cross the moor.

Such places have often been forgotten. Actually very sad that the Russian victims remained anonymous!
