Stalag VI-K

Germany / Nordrhein-Westfalen / Hovelhof / Lippstädter Weg
 Second World War 1939-1945, police station

Stalag VI-K was a former German prisoner of war camp at Stuckenbrock or Senne south of Bielefeld in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, also known as Stalag VI-K Senne.

The camp was used mostly for Soviet prisoners of war, but also held some French and Italian prisoners.

Between 40,000 and 60,000 prisoners died there, mostly buried in three mass graves. A Soviet war cemetery is still in existence, containing about 200 named graves.

A police school now occupies the site of the camp offices.
