“Eckerwald Memorial”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Eckerwald Memorial (approx. 15km southwest of Balingen) commemorates one of the last murderous chapters of Nazi war politics. In the autumn of 1944, prisoners of the Schörzingen concentration camp built a shale oil factory on this site during a construction period of about three months.

The Memorial is locatedoutside the village of Schörzingen, today a district of Schömberg in the Zollernalbkreis in Baden-Württemberg, at the foot of the Nordtrauf in Swabian Alb.

The plant was one of ten production sites of the Company Wüste, the code Name of an industrial complex consisting of concentration camps and industrial plants of the Nazis, in order to extract the increasingly scarce fuel from domestic oil shale towards the end of the Second World War. Under partly murderous conditions, concentration camp prisoners had to set up various oil shale planrs from seven subcamps of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp for experimental purposes and for the production of shale oil in order to subsequently work in them.

On the grounds of the Memorial site, a bronze sculpture in a trough excavated by prisoners commemorates the events.^[1]

The Memorial is a member of the Gäu-Neckar-Alb Memorials Network and the Natzweiler Memorials Network in the former concentration camp complex.^[2]^[3]
