Highlight • Historical Site

Three kilometers north of the Jüterbog district of Kloster Zinna is the former military area Forst Zinna, which is bordered on the east by the course of the Nuthe and on the west by the new federal highway 101 and the Berlin-Halle railway line. The former military training area Jüterbog (historical Jüterbog shooting range) extends to the west and beyond the railway line. In 1934, as part of German rearmament, another military camp was set up on the edge of the training area. In addition to the existing camps "Old Camp" and "New Camp", the new military area was given the name "Camp III" in chronological order. A provision store and a train station were installed next to the troop camp.

According to several sources, the Schutzstaffel (SS) was the first user of the area. The Jüterbog artillery school used the camp to set up observation departments for the artillery troops from 1935. The Lehrstab T, which trained drivers for tracked vehicles, was also stationed here from 1949. "Lager III" was supplemented by a preparation department for the assault gun developed in Jüterbog (full-track armored vehicles of the assault artillery equipped with an artillery gun). Until the end of the Nazi dictatorship, parts of the RAD Infantry Division "Friedrich Ludwig Jahn" stationed in Jüterbog were quartered on the site. After the end of the Second World War, the Soviet occupying power operated a DP camp (DP = Displaced Persons) on the former Wehrmacht military premises, an internment camp in which members of different countries were collected, often against their will, and then deported to their countries of origin...
