The housing estate for SS members of the Ravensbrück concentration camp, which was never fully completed, remains largely intact as a group of buildings today. Higher-ranking SS members resided in these houses with their families. The identities and lifestyles of these SS soldiers on the housing estate remain unclear. Reports suggest that private businesses from the Fürstenberg area constructed most of the dwellings in the SS colony.
- Memorial statue Tragende (Woman with Burden), 1959 - The first stop is the former SS administrative building, now a museum that introduces what Ravensbrück was and what it became. Inside, visitors can explore the permanent exhibition, which provides crucial context about the camp’s founding, operation, and liberation.
- The monument Zwei Stehende - The monument Zwei Stehende (Two Women Standing) is situated in front of the camp wall near the former crematorium on the grounds of the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Fürstenberg, Germany. The SS established Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1939, and it was Germany’s largest concentration camp for women during WWII.
- Ravensbrück Concentration Camp Memorial Site - From 1939 to 1945, Ravensbrück served as a German concentration camp for women in northern Germany, 90 km (56 mi) north of Berlin, in the village of Ravensbrück within Fürstenberg/Havel. The camp memorial estimates that 132,000 women were held in the camp during the war, including 48,500 from Poland, 28,000 from the Soviet Union, nearly 24,000 from Germany and Austria, almost 8,000 from France, and thousands from other countries, including the UK and US. Over 20,000 (15%) were Jewish, while other races and cultures comprised 85%. More than 80% were political prisoners.
In early 1941, the SS established a small adjacent camp for male detainees, who constructed and operated the gas chambers in 1944. Approximately 50,000 female prisoners in Ravensbrück perished, including 2,200 in the gas chambers.
