Poppenbüttel panel house
During the Nazi era, there was a satellite camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp in Sasel from September 1944 to April 1945 , the Hamburg-Sasel satellite camp . The Jewish women captured there were used, among other things, to build a prefabricated concrete slab housing estate west of the Poppenbüttel train station, which served as emergency accommodation for bombed-out Hamburgers. The Plattenhaus memorial , which is reminiscent of the concentration camp, has been in the only house still in existence (Kritenbarg 8) since 1985 . In addition to its function as a memorial, it is also the only remaining evidence from the beginnings of the prefabricated building and has therefore been placed under monument protection.
Inscription on plaque at the Plattenhaus Memorial
| Poppenbüttel slab housing estate
This house is the remnant of a settlement of makeshift homes that were built here in 1944–45. The precast concrete parts for the houses were made in the clinker factory of the Neuengamme concentration camp. Women from the Sasel satellite camp were used to assemble the “panel houses”. 500 women were housed in this camp, who had to do this hard work despite hunger and weakness. The houses housed families who had lost their homes in the bombing. |
