Appellplatz (Флоссенбюрг)

Germany / Bayern / Flossenburg / Флоссенбюрг
 square, parade ground
The roll call ground formed the centre of the camp. Every morning and evening the prisoners were counted here. Standing to attention, often for hours, meant an additional torture for the undernourished and inadequately clothed prisoners. Punishments, tortures and executions were also carried out here.
After 1945 the open area between the laundry (on the right) and the camp's kitchen (on the left) became part of an industrial site and was surrounded by factory halls. In the course of the restructuring of the concentration camp memorial these post-war buildings were demolished.
