    Tips

    January 11, 2019

    At the entrance to Boizenburg, at the former Fernstrasse 5, buildings have been preserved that were of very different significance for the city's history in the 20th century.
    A barrack bears witness to a former satellite camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp, where four hundred female Jewish prisoners from Hungary were interned in 1944/45 who had to do forced labor in the armaments production of the neighboring Elbe shipyard. In this only surviving building of the former Boizenburg subcamp, an exhibition on the fate of the prisoners and on forced labor on the Elbe shipyard is shown during the summer months.
    The two buildings of the former transit checkpoint four are only a few meters away. From 1973 to 1990, East German police controlled car traffic in the direction of the border and into the restricted border area. Around the former tower of the checkpoint, another exhibition documents the history of the inner-German border in the Hagenow district. A sound installation in the tower refers to life in the restricted area, to escape and forced resettlement.
