It is intended to commemorate the nearby railway ramp on which the prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates arrived. They were transported here by the Reichsbahn and had to march 5 to 6 km from here to the camp on foot. From the parking lot, a narrow inconspicuous (but signposted) approx. 550 m long footpath leads along the railway line to the loading ramp. The AG Bergen-Belsen has set up a "boxcar" there. At their request, part of the ramp and track was placed under monument protection in 2000.
