Börnicke concentration camp
The concentration camp Börnicke (short KZ Börnicke ) was an early German concentration camp in the Nazi era . It was set up in May 1933 by the Sturmabteilung in a former cement factory in Börnicke near Nauen . After the seizure of power , SA Standard 224, based in Nauen, ran a military sports school here. It was later used as a so-called “wild” or “early” concentration camp . Most of the prisoners were communists and social democrats from the Osthavelland district who were used for road construction and forestry work. SA men murdered at least ten prisoners. Others died as a result of the inhuman treatment and poor food. One of the inmates was the Falkensee worker sportsman Oskar Sander . After the dissolution in July 1933, 79 prisoners were brought to the Oranienburg concentration camp .
The Prussian state government investigated what was going on in the camp in the summer of 1933. As a result, the camp commandant Heinrich Krein was arrested on September 28, 1933 and convicted by the Berlin Regional Court on August 14, 1934 for rape of a communist. The actual events in the camp went unpunished.
