Dokumentationsstätte "Lager Weinsberg" and its collection

The Lager Weinsberg, located in the city of Weinsberg near Heilbronn, has a significant historical background. It functioned as a prisoner of war camp, known as Oflag V A, for the Wehrmacht from 1940 to 1945. The camp was home to officers and non-commissioned officers from various nationalities during this period. This historical context provides a unique insight into the experiences of those who were held captive during World War II.

Exploring the Documentation Site at Lager Weinsberg

Today, the last remaining of the original 39 barracks of the former Lager Weinsberg serves as a documentation site. Visitors can explore the camp's history through a chronological sequence of photos, drawings, documents, newspaper articles, and explanatory texts. A large printed curtain wall, nearly 10 m² in size, provides an overall view of the former camp site, helping to visualize its past appearance. Displayed objects, including letters and stamps from the camp's mail traffic, offer a glimpse into the everyday life of the camp residents.
