Description

The Colditz castle.

A little about castles history: Colditz has been used as a workhouse for the indigent and a mental institution for over 100 years.

Afterwards it became notorious during World War II as Oflag IV-C, a prisoner-of-war camp for "incorrigible" Allied officers who had repeatedly escaped from other camps. Since the Nazis came to power, also jews, homosexuals, communists and the other so called "undesireables" were also kept in the castle. After the outbreak of WW II the allied prisoners were housed there.
