Poppenbüttel – Sasel


In Sasel, northern Hamburg, the Nazis set up a satellite camp subordinated to Neuengamme. The camp existed between September 1944 and April 1945. About 500 Jewish women were used as slave labor to build housings for people whose homes had been destroyed during allied bombings.

Current status: Demolished with museum (2008).

Address: Kritenbarg 8, 22391 Hamburg.

Get there: Metro to Poppenbüttel Station

My comment:

There is a small part of a barrack preserved with an exhibition about the camp. In connection with the barracks, a barrack has been reconstructed with a living quarter for the residents of Hamburg whose homes had been destroyed by bombing.
