    Founded in 1994, the Documentation and Information Center (DIZ) Stadtallendorf is the first and oldest memorial site in Germany about forced labor.

    The facility commemorates the exploitation of 17,500 to 20,000 forced laborers in the DAG and WASAG explosives and ammunition factories built in 1938 near Allendorf in 1939-45, at the time the largest arms industry settlements in Europe. In a permanent exhibition, the eventful and extraordinary history of the town of Allendorf from the Weimar Republic to the 1950s is discussed, from the small farming village to the later industrial town.
