Quarantine camp, tool shed and monument object

After the end of the Second World War, the subcamp served as the "Agneshof quarantine camp" to accommodate refugees, resettlers from the areas east of the Oder and Neisse and as a transit camp for German prisoners of war who had returned home. With a few structural interventions such as the installation of ovens and chimneys and some interior painting, the camp remained almost unchanged.

With the dissolution at the end of 1948, the buildings were demolished over a period of several years. Only the accommodation barracks, which are still preserved today, and a service building, the foundations of which are also preserved, remained standing.

From the 1960s to the 1990s, the nearby Staaken concrete works produced sand and used the barracks as a tool shed and material store. For this purpose, the gable walls were opened for large driveways, the ovens were removed again and most of the inner transverse walls were removed. The rest of the area was largely overgrown.

Since 1993, the city has been developing the historical park on the historic site, exposing barrack foundations and other floor coverings, and finally renovating the prisoner barracks in 2018. Today, the entire camp site is under monument protection.
