The memorial area next to the former crematorium includes a grave field planted with roses and some individual memorials from survivors' associations. The sculpture "Carrying", designed by Willi Lammert, stands directly on the Schwedtsee.

From 1945 to 1994, the former concentration camp site was used as a barracks by the Soviet Army and was therefore not accessible for memorial events or research for decades. A small section of the site was inaugurated in mid-September 1959 as one of three national concentration camp memorials in the GDR.
