Tips

KZ-Gedenkstätte Husum-Schwesing

July 11, 2024

Based on sketches and descriptions by former prisoners, we know that this barracks housed a so-called peeling kitchen. Concentration camp prisoners who were too weak for the hard work on the Friesenwall had to peel potatoes there. There was also a tailor's and shoemaker's workshop here.

After the end of the war, the barracks served as refugee accommodation until the end of the 1950s. In the early 1960s, almost all of the buildings were demolished. The only exception was the kitchen barracks, which was used as a residential building and gradually converted until only the basement and the chimneys remained in their original state. It was not until 2007 that the district of North Frisia was able to purchase the building and made it part of the Husum-Schwesing concentration camp memorial. In 2012, the components that had been replaced after the end of the war were removed; in 2014, the chimneys and the base were secured and the basement was permanently closed.
