Neukölln as ‘Ortsteil’

See History of Neukölln (locality/Stadtteil Berlins)

Berlin is obviously a city/town (Stadt), so the “localities” would be called Stadtteil (“part of town”). But “Ortsteil” seems to be the offical way to call the ‘localities’ in Berlin, although this sound like “part of a small town”. --Schwab7000 (talk) 16:59, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History from 1942-1945

Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurde auf der Sonnenallee in Berlin-Neukölln ein Zwangsarbeiterlager errichtet. Die vorwiegend weiblichen Häftlinge wurden von 1942-1944 für die Rüstungsproduktion der “National Krupp Registrierkassen GmbH” eingesetzt. Ab August 1944 wurde das Lager dem Konzentrationslager Sachsenhausen als Außenkommando zugeordnet.

Die letzten Baracken wurden 1957 abgerissen. Der in Vergessenheit geratene Ort, auf dem sich heute ein Sportplatz und eine Kleingartenkolonie befindet, rückte erst in den 1980er Jahren wieder in das öffentliche Bewusstsein. Den Mahnmal-Wettbewerb, der im Rahmen des Programms “Kunst im Stadtraum” 1989 stattfand, gewann der Künstler Norbert Radermacher. 1994 wurde sein Erinnerungskunstwerk realisiert. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Licht-Schrift-Projektion mit Informationen zum Zwangsarbeiterlager, die nur in der Dunkelheit beim Passieren einer Lichtschranke zu sehen ist.

English translation: During the Second World War, a forced labor camp was set up on Sonnenallee in Berlin-Neukölln. From 1942 to 1944, the predominantly female prisoners were used for armaments production by the “National Krupp Registerkassen GmbH”. From August 1944, the camp was assigned to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp as an external work detail.

The last barracks were demolished in 1957. The forgotten site, which today houses a sports field and an allotment garden colony, only regained public awareness in the 1980s. The artist Norbert Radermacher won the memorial competition, which took place as part of the “Art in Urban Space” program in 1989. In 1994 his memorial work of art was realized. This is a light-writing projection with information about the forced labor camp, which can only be seen in the dark when passing a light barrier. 71.190.109.204 (talk) 21:41, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
