About Erinnerungsstätte Notaufnahmelager Marienfelde
Marienfelde refugee transit camp was one of three camps operated by West Germany and West Berlin during the Cold War for dealing with the great waves of immigration from East Germany, especially between 1950 and 1961. Refugees arriving in West Berlin were sent to the reception centre located in the Marienfelde district, where they received medical treatment, food, identification papers, and housing until they could be permanently re-settled in the West.
