Stalag IV-B (Mühlberg) was one of the largest POW camps of the Third Reich. Associated with it was Stalag IV-B/Z, a Lazarett (hospital camp) near the village of Jacobsthal, a few miles south of here.

Kurt Vonnegut was a POW here.

After the surrender of the Nazi regime, the occupying Soviets used the camp as NKWD-1, a Speziallager (special camp) for interning Germans and others deemed to be, or suspected of being, problems.
