The Esterwegen Memorial is a central European place of commemoration to remember the 15 Emsland camps, their inmates and victims. The memorial site is shaped by an impressive design idea. The so-called camp street where the massive cold steel elements and fields of trees suggest the outlines of the former camp, the tour and the steel bridge are a document of European memorial culture. The biographical approach of the permanent exhibit is impressive. The permanent exhibit as well as lectures and special exhibitions in the visitor centre and the grounds make the Esterwegen memorial site a place of remembrance, reflection, and learning. The Esterwegen memorial site is reached by crossing the steel bridge and is also accessible from the moor info path. Entrance is free.
