Geschichtsort Adlerwerke

Geschichtsort Adlerwerke is a non-profit association based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany working on heritage, human rights, education.

The Geschichtsort Adlerwerke is a memorial and educational site in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, on the former premises of the Adlerwerke factory. It documents the KZ Katzbach, a subcamp of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp complex that existed inside the factory from August 1944 to March 1945, and the wider system of forced labour in Frankfurt during the Nazi era. The site offers permanent exhibitions, guided tours, workshops, project days, city walks and lectures for schools, trade unions and the general public, in German and English. It is operated by the Studienkreis Deutscher Widerstand 1933 1945 e.V., supported by a sponsoring association and the City of Frankfurt's culture department. The site opened in March 2022 and is funded in part by donations. Its stated aims are to commemorate the victims of forced labour and camp detention, inform about the concentration camp system, and foster critical reflection on democracy and human rights today.
