Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Tour

The tragic remnants: exploring concentration camps near frankfurt, germany.

by Original Berlin Tours | Mar 7, 2024 | Sachsenhausen

Throughout history, there are moments that remind us of the darkest capabilities of humanity. One such moment was the existence of concentration camps during World War II. These camps, established by the Nazis, were sites of unimaginable horror and suffering. While Frankfurt, Germany, holds a place as a bustling modern city today, it’s crucial never to forget the past. In this article, we will explore concentration camps near Frankfurt, Germany, shedding light on this tragic chapter in history.

The Notorious Past of Concentration Camps

During World War II, the Nazis utilized concentration camps to imprison and systematically exterminate millions of innocent people, including Jews, Romani people, LGBTQ+ individuals, political dissidents, and others deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime. As a testament to the atrocities committed, these camps have been preserved as museums and memorials.

1. Dachau Concentration Camp

Location: Dachau, approximately 20 kilometers north of Munich

Opened in March 1933, Dachau was one of the first concentration camps established by the Nazis. It served as a model for later camps and set the grim precedent for the treatment of prisoners.Originally intended for political opponents, Dachau later became a “school of violence” for SS members who would go on to staff other camps. The camp was liberated by American forces in April 1945.

Visiting Dachau Concentration Camp

Visiting Dachau offers a somber and educational experience, providing insight into life within the camp. On-site, you will find reconstructed barracks, a museum, and exhibitions detailing the history, conditions, and personal stories of the prisoners.

2. Buchenwald Concentration Camp

Location: Ettersberg, approximately 10 kilometers north of Weimar

Buchenwald, established in 1937, was one of the largest concentration camps in Germany. This camp imprisoned a diverse range of inmates – political opponents, resistance fighters, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Jews, and others. Following its liberation by American forces in April 1945, it became a special camp for former Nazis and war criminals awaiting trial.

Visiting Buchenwald Concentration Camp

Today, Buchenwald serves as a memorial and museum. Visitors can explore the former camp grounds, walk along the “Path of Prayer,” and learn about the daily life and suffering endured by the prisoners. The exhibits include photographs, personal belongings, and testimonies, offering a poignant glimpse into the past.

3. Mittelbau-Dora Concentration Camp

Location: Nordhausen, approximately 340 kilometers west of Frankfurt

Mittelbau-Dora, known for the construction of the V-2 rocket, was established in 1943 as a subcamp of Buchenwald. It became an independent concentration camp later that year. The prisoners, forced to work in harsh conditions, suffered from malnutrition and disease. Liberated by American troops in April 1945, the camp was later used as a Soviet internment camp.

Visiting Mittelbau-Dora Concentration Camp

Visitors to Mittelbau-Dora can explore the remnants of the camp, including the tunnels where prisoners were forced to work and the museum with artifacts and documents. The memorial and nearby exhibitions provide a chilling insight into the cruelty inflicted upon those interned here.

4. Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp

Location: Bergen, approximately 330 kilometers northwest of Frankfurt

Bergen-Belsen held a uniquely tragic place in history as both a concentration camp and a prisoner-of-war camp. Originally established in 1940, it was located in an area that made it an ideal holding place for prisoners from all across Europe. In 1945, it gained international attention when Anne Frank, a Jewish girl whose diary became world-renowned, tragically died there.

Visiting Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp

At Bergen-Belsen, visitors can walk through the memorial site and learn about the stories of the camp’s prisoners, including Anne Frank. The monument, exhibitions, and mass graves serve as a chilling reminder of the human cost of hatred and discrimination.

Visiting concentration camps near Frankfurt, Germany, offers a chance to pay tribute to the victims, honor their memory, and ensure that the horrors of the past are never forgotten. These sites provide educational and emotional experiences, allowing individuals to reflect on the consequences of prejudice, discrimination, and hate.

While it is crucial to explore and learn about history, it is equally important to approach these sites with respect and sensitivity. Take the time to read about the camps’ rules and guidelines before visiting to ensure a meaningful experience.

Join us on an exclusive WWII-themed walking tour of Frankfurt Old Town. As an industrial capital of Nazi Germany, Frankfurt plays an important role in remembering the events of the Second World War. Discover the story of the intensive Allied bombings and the Battle of Frankfurt.

This walking tour will start by the iconic Frankfurt Cathedral, also known as the Imperial Cathedral of St Bartholomew. As the tallest building in the city at the time of WWII, the magnificent cathedral with its 95 meters spire were used by the Allied Air Forces as a reference point for the planes dropping the bombs on the city. The building also suffered severe damage, with the interiors burning out completely.

Most of Frankfurt was devastated by the repeated bombardings by the Allies, with tens of thousands of explosives being dropped on the biggest medieval old town in Central Europe. Today, you can admire the city’s amazing efforts to reconstruct the historic buildings to their former glory. You will see reconstructed timber houses at the New Old Town and the Römerberg market square, with its 15th century Römer town hall, the Old St Nicholas Church, and the Fountain of Justice.

You will walk past the reconstructed St Paul’s Church, which is a memorial to German democracy, to the IG Farben Building. This building belonging to the Goethe University was originally built to house “the most notorious German industrial concern during the Third Reich”, Interessengemeinschaft Farbenindustrie, who supplied poison gas to the Nazi extermination camps. Throughout the tour, your Private Guide will provide the most informative commentary on Frankfurt’s important WWII events, places and people, such as the Adlerwerke “Katzbach” concentration camp.

12 Best Dachau Tours

Of all the concentration camps established by the Nazis during World War II, Dachau was the first, and it opened nearly 7 years before the official declaration of war by Germany.

The camp is located just a few kilometers from Munich in the German state of Bavaria, and due to its proximity, most tours of Dachau begin in Munich, so if you’d like to see the camp and spend more than a few days in the area, that’s probably where you’ll stay.

Dachau was liberated by the Allied Forces in April 1945, and according to documents there were more than 30,000 deaths that had taken place in the camp over the years.

Below is a list of 12 of the best tours of Dachau.

1. Munich and Nazi History Combo Day-Tour

Munich, Germany

This Munich – Dachau combo tour kicks off at the famous Marienplatz central square in downtown Munich.

From there, tour guests, along with their guide, will utilize the public transportation system to get to Dachau, where they’ll get a thorough historic narration as they visit every corner of the camp that was the macabre home to hundreds of thousands of Jews during its 12 year existence.

You’ll have time to strike out on your own too and take extra time at specific areas or exhibits that you find particularly poignant or interesting.

Upon return to Marienplatz at 3:00 PM you and your companions will set off on a walking tour through Munich, where you’ll visit historically significant areas.

2. Dachau Full-Day Tour in English

Dachau Memorial

Though Dachau is just one of many similar camps that were spread over Europe during World War II, it’s one of the most well-known, and was the first of its kind when it opened in early 1933.

This tour includes the services of a local, official guide who’ll be able to answer your questions and add a lot of value to this already amazing site.

You’ll learn why the camp was opened, what the official plans were for those who were forced to live and work here, and what life was like for the soldiers and guards that were stationed here as well.

You’ll get access to the amazing first-hand stories of people who lived and died here, and some from those who were lucky enough to make it out with their lives as well.

View Prices & Reviews

3. Private Tour of Dachau Concentration Camp

Dachau Concentration Camp

Curt’s tours are considered some of the most enlightening and heart-wrenching of all the tours that are available at Dachau.

Though the site itself is a real eye-opener, for those interested in knowing everything there is to know, the service of a professional guide is invaluable.

The tour includes all the areas inside the camp, including admittance and orientation, living, eating, and working areas, and of course the facilities built specifically to extinguish the most amount of lives in as an efficient and inexpensive manner as possible.

Your tour guide Curt is an American, who is licensed as a guide and has been giving tours of the site to visitors for more than 10 years.

4. Dachau Memorial Site and Shooting Range Tour

Dachau

This Munich-based tour of the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial site also includes a visit to the nearby SS shooting range.

The tour, which lasts approximately 6 ½ hours, includes entry into the museum and a short documentary film that’s a great introduction for first-time visitors.

Visitors will hear the horrific stories of the sadistic experiments that were carried out here, and after seeing all the area’s highlights, guests will have a little free time to process all the things they’ve just seen.

It’s really a once in a life time opportunity, and this tour gives guests plenty of time to take it all in.

Everything is included except food, drink, and gratuities.

5. Dachau Concentration Camp Tour by Train

Dachau Concentration Camp

This 5-hour tour of the Holocaust Memorial Site at Dachau begins in Munich and includes transportation to and from the city to the memorial site.

The tour includes stops at all the important areas of the camp like the prisoner and guard barracks, as well as the medical facilities and the extermination chambers.

Though not all of the site’s structures are original, they’ve been restored to return them to near-original shape, so that guests can get a true feeling of how it must have felt to be an unwilling occupant here.

Many visitors are surprised to learn that in addition to Jews, Poles, homosexuals, and clergy members were also sent here.

6. Dachau Small Group Tour from Munich via Train

Dachau Gate

For those who’ve got the time to dedicate a full-day to visiting this unique historical site, this tour from Munich would be a great choice.

Your guide will not only explain the sights you’re seeing at the memorial, but you’ll also learn about the conditions that existed in Germany that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler and The Third Reich.

It’s a fascinating tale and is really world history, as opposed to just German history.

The global war that ensued as a direct result killed millions and changed the world as we know it.

You’ll have time for a bit of self-guided exploration as well.

7. Walking Tour of Dachau from Munich via Train

Dachau Crematorium Ovens

Taking the train from Munich is a great way to see the outskirts of the city before entering the concentration camp.

For much of the Nazi’s rise to power, Munich was a city that was central to the aims of The Third Reich, and as such is one of the most historically-relevant cities of the Second World War.

Visitors will get up close and personal with the camp’s barracks, transportation system, cells, and where the inmates were taken for extermination.

The gas chambers are probably the most lurid of all the camp’s areas, and it’s almost unfathomable to put yourself in the shoes of an inmate marching to their certain death.

This tour requires a fair amount of walking and lasts about 5 hours.

Transportation via train to and from the site are included in the tour’s cost.

8. Dachau Concentration Camp Private Tour from Munich

Dachau Concentration Camp in Germany

For many visitors to Dachau, a half-day tour is the right amount of time to see all the camp has to offer without overdoing it.

Not surprisingly, Dachau can be an emotionally overwhelming place, so before booking a tour carefully consider how much time you’d like to spend onsite.

Guests will walk through the camp’s eerie gate which claims that, ‘work will set you free.’

Obviously, freedom wasn’t an option for the majority of the inmates sent here, though some lucky souls did make it out alive.

This tour hits all the camps most important areas and give guests a well-rounded overview of the camp’s history in a relatively short amount of time.

9. Frankfurt to Munich City, Dachau Concentration Camp Day Trip

Crematorium Dachau

This full-day tour begins in Frankfurt and includes stops at Munich and Dachau as well.

All portions of the tour are guided, and the tour’s first stop is the Dachau Memorial, and includes the barracks, work areas, and gas chambers to name a few highlights.

Following the tour of Dachau, you’ll proceed to historic Munich for another guided tour.

Sights to be seen in Munich include the Old Town Hall, Marienplatz, the Cathedral of our Blessed Lady, and a few of the beer halls made famous as meeting places for Nazi organizers and sympathizers leading up to them taking control of the German government.

Though this tour makes for a long day, it’s perhaps the most well-rounded and value packed of all Dachau tours.

10. Private Round Trip to Dachau Camp from Munich Hotels

Crematorium Dachau

If you’d prefer to have someone else worry about the tedious details when traveling, this hassle-free tour of Dachau is a great choice.

Transportation to and from your Munich hotel is included, and once at the camp site you’ll have ample time to give yourself a self-guided tour.

The grounds and museum are laid out well to facilitate guests in seeing all the site has to offer in an efficient way.

Once you’ve had your fill of this unique spot, you’ll meet your driver who’ll zip you and your travel companions back to your Munich hotel.

This tour includes transportation from Munich to the site and back but doesn’t include hotel pickup and drop-off.

12. Munich to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, Private Tour

Dachau

For World War II history buffs, there may be no better place to visit than the concentration camp grounds at Dachau.

It’s been turned into a permanent memorial to remember those who walked through its gates, in the hope that education will prevent such a catastrophe from ever happening again.

On this private guided-tour, guests will get a poignant overview of the camp’s layout, and how it was used in the wholesale extermination of Jews, and anybody else who attempted to stand up to the Nazi State.
