    The building, originally built as the house of the director of a neighboring sugar factory, stands quite inconspicuously on Neustädter Landstrasse. And yet it has a bitter history.
    In 1933, immediately after the Reichstag disempowered itself by signing the "Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Reich" (Enabling Act) and empowered the NSDAP as government to enact laws without the consent of the Reichstag and Reichsrat, a concentration camp was set up here. Politically dissidents were imprisoned here. Just six months later, it was disbanded at this location and moved to the center of Ahrensbök. No one died here, but torture was carried out in the basement.
    The former director's house has been a memorial since 2001. Here you can find out about the "social causes and developments in the East Holstein region" using picture and text panels and some objects about the Nazi era and its atrocities.
    It's worth a visit!
