Griebo is a village and part of Lutherstadt Wittenberg in Saxony-Anhalt .
geography
Griebo is located in the Fläming Nature Park at the mouth of the Grieboer Bach in the Elbe (the brook originates in Fläming in the north in the Cobbelsdorf district ). The town of Coswig (Anhalt) is in the immediate vicinity to the west, and the Apollensdorf district of Wittenberg borders Griebo to the east .
history
In 1201 Griebo appears for the first time in a document. The late Romanesque St. John's Church in the town dates from this time and was used as a fortified church , especially around the Thirty Years War , as Griebo was on a military road and was often looted.
In 1936 the prisoner camp “Elbe regulation Post Griebo bei Coswig (Anhalt)” was set up for 400 prisoners. This also included 150 prisoners who were housed on a barge named "Biber". The economic purpose was the dredging of gravel from the river bed of the Elbe. This should deepen the river bed and thus improve inland navigation. From 1939 the prisoner camp of Dessau-Roßlau also belonged to the Elbe regulation camp in Griebo . Overall, these sub-camps belonged to the Elbe regulation camp Griebo:
- Field office of the Elbregulierung Griebo prisoner camp in Aken at IG Farben AG
- External command of the prison camp Elbe regulation Post Griebo near Coswig (Anhalt) in Pretzsch (Elbe)
- External command of the prison camp Elbe regulation Post Griebo (near Coswig Anhalt) in Wittenberg
- External command "Dessau men's camp" of the Elbe regulation prison camp, Post Griebo (near Coswig Anhalt) in Dessau-Roßlau
- External command "Camp Creudnitz" of the prison camp Elbe regulation Post Griebo
- External command of the prison camp Elbe regulation Post Griebo, barge “Biber” in Griebo
In 1944 three female prisoners were also interned in the camp. One of these women was Irene Seiler , who had been sentenced to several years in prison for “ racial disgrace ”.
