        The border transit camp (GDL) Friedland is located in the Lower Saxony municipality of Friedland in the district of Göttingen. It was first used after the Second World War for expelled Germans from the formerly German eastern regions and the Sudetenland. The GDL was built by the British occupying forces on the site of the agricultural research institute of the University of Göttingen, which had been relocated to Friedland, and was put into operation on September 20, 1945. [1] [2] The Friedland transit camp is a location of the Lower Saxony State Reception Authority (LAB NI). It is also called the gateway to freedom.
