In the Munich district of Neuaubing, 8 barracks of a former Nazi forced labourers' camp are still preserved. During the Second World War, up to 1,000 forced labourers from various countries were housed here, who were deployed at the nearby Reichsbahn repair works. It was one of a total of 30,000 mass accommodations in the German Reich. More than 13 million people were abducted and exploited from all over Europe by the Nazi regime.
After 1945, a variety of subsequent uses partially overwrote the traces of the past. The history of the site in Neuaubing also fell into oblivion. Today, the barracks are used, among other things, by artists, craftspeople and a kindergarten. In the coming years, the area will be renovated in a manner true to its heritage protection status and further developed into a place of remembrance. Two barracks will house a branch of the NS-Dokumentationszentrum München (Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism).
