Saarland (DEU), Neue Bremm

Nazi "expanded police prison"/concentration camp/Gestapo camp on the outskirts of Saarbrücken, near the French border; after the war there remained only the foundations of the prisoners' barracks and a fire pond; in 1947 the site received a commemorative stone slab; in subsequent years, highways and commercial buildings steadily encroached on its borders; in 1975, the French hotel chain Novotel purchased from the city of Saarbrücken what had been the women's half of the camp, and proceeded to build its first hotel on German soil; the men's half of the camp continued to be owned by the city, separated from the Novotel by a thick row of spruce trees; it remained in a state of neglect until a local citizens' initiative formed to establish a memorial to the history of the site; the winning design, chosen in April 2000, was submitted by two Berlin architects, Nils Ballhausen and Roland Poppensieker: Hotel der Erinnerung [Hotel of Memory]
