The DZOK

From 1933 to 1935, Fort Oberer Kuhberg was home to an early Nazi concentration camp where more than 600 opponents of the regime were imprisoned. Today, the largely preserved historic site is home to a concentration camp memorial whose history is linked to the Ulm School of Design. The tours highlight the connections between the two institutions, which are known far beyond Ulm. The concentration camp memorial focuses in particular on the prisoners’ quarters, special detention cells and rooms of the former concentration camp administration, as well as the permanent exhibition ‘Human dignity is inviolable’.
