The Camp Prison



Cell Building | 1940–45

The camp prison or cell building which the prisoners also referred to as the bunker was an integral part of the camp’s internal penal system and the site of acts of particular cruelty. The building contained 78 cells. When the Memorial was founded in 1959, the cell building held its first exhibition. In 2006, a new permanent exhibition entitled “Ravensbrück. The Cell Building” was opened, which also deals with the history of the national memorial rooms.
