📍 About the location
Malchow is a small city in the southern part of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. What once started as a village on the island of the Malchower lake, later became a town with about 6600 inhabitants and an important health resort between two great lakes and within the Malchower lake. But in between those times the town Malchow was mainly known for two things: The first thing was a manufactory for ammuniation in Malchow that was a company established during the times of the regime of the Nazis. Half of the manufactory workers were forced labourers from abroad. The second thing was an external labour camp of the RavensbrEck concentration camp for women that was built in 1943. Hundreds of women, most of them Hungarian jews, had to work under inhumane conditions. A lot of them died.Leisure time: Excursions (swimming, short trips) can be planned.
