Langenstein-Zwieberge Concentration Camp Memorial

The memorial commemorates the prisoners from 23 countries who were held at the Langenstein-Zwieberge satellite concentration camp. Under the designation B2/Malachit, they were forced to drive a 13-kilometre-long network of tunnels into the Thekenberge hills near Halberstadt (Saxony-Anhalt) between April 1944 and April 1945. As a result of the physical strain and poor nutrition, over 1,700 of the more than 7,000 prisoners died within just twelve months.

Today, the memorial is an international site of remembrance, political education and historical research.
