Buchenwald Concentration Camp, officially KL Buchenwald, was one of the largest concentration camps on German soil. It operated as a forced labor camp on the Ettersberg hill near Weimar between July 1937 and April 1945. A total of approximately 277,800 people from 50 countries were imprisoned in Buchenwald during this period.[1] The death toll is estimated at around 56,000, including 15,000 Soviet citizens, 7,000 Poles, 6,000 Hungarians, and 3,000 French citizens.[2] As the 3rd US Army approached on April 11, 1945, the prisoners took control of the camp from the retreating SS, arrested 125 of the guards, opened the gates, and raised a white flag.

If you are here, you should also stop at the memorial.

It's a great place to relax; the water is illuminated in the evenings.

Nature is slowly recovering and creating wonderful biotopes.

Fresh and delicious water right next to the bike path.

A magnificent moated castle that needs some TLC. Definitely worth a photo opportunity.

The moated castle, dating back to the 14th century, is abandoned and falling into disrepair. In 2019, it still served as a hostel.

Everyone should visit a concentration camp to understand the dimensions in which the Nazis herded Jews together and murdered them on a large scale
