Site of the Dachu Concentration Camp Memorial, DE.
Maintenance building. The maintenance building was built by the prisioners themselves in 1937-38. It served the needs of the prisoners camp and contained a kitchen, clothing supply room, baths, laundry and workshops. In the so-called Schubraum (shunting groom) in the west wing of the building, the degrading registration process began for the newly arrived prisoners. On the roof of the building a text was painted in large letters: "There is a path to freedom. Its milestones are: Obedience, Honesty, Cleanliness, Sobriety, Hard Work, Discipline, Sacrifice, Truthfulness, Love of thy Fatherland." -museum plaque
