The Engerhafe concentration camp was located in the narrowhafe west of Aurich, now a district of the municipality of Südbrookmerland. It was the only concentration camp in East Frisia in the time of National Socialism. It was built on October 21, 1944 as an outdoor camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp in connection with the construction of the so -called Frisian wall. The Friesenwall was a planned but only partially completed weir system that was to be created on the German North Sea coast towards the end of the Second World War. The warehouse of Engerhafe, Meppen-Dalum and verses, Husum-Schwesing, Ladelund and various working commands in Hamburg were involved in the construction. The Engerhafe camp was responsible for the construction of armored trenches around the city of Aurich. Shortly before the completion of Aurich's all -round defense, the camp was dissolved on December 22, 1944. 188 prisoners died within the two months in which it had existed.
