WAR CEMETERY OBERLANGEN

Those who died in the Oberlangen prison camp between 1934 and the fall of 1939 were buried in the “Börgermoor camp cemetery” (now the Esterwegen burial ground).

In September 1939, the Wehrmacht High Command took over the camp as a prisoner of war camp. According to cemetery lists, 62 known and 2 unknown Soviet prisoners of war rest in individual graves and 2,000 - 4,000 unknown prisoners of war rest in mass graves in the cemetery near the camp.
