In 1974, the area of the former POW camp was privatised and a commercial estate with the idyllic name „Immenhain“ (Bees‘ Copse) installed. The photo on the left shows the former entrance to the camp, today also the estate’s entry. The white building on the right is the former postal hut, today part of a timber company.

 
 

The former Allied POWs‘ kitchen on this photo is a .....nowadays. It’s owner did massively molest an Italian TV team in 1986, so they had to stop their work. A further proof, how some of our fellow country-men treat historical facts.

 
 

In the former HQ of the Guard Company, the Selsingen community’s road maintenance department is installed. On it’s compound two more original buildings can be found. The use of the brown hut left below is unknown. But the white beneath is one of the POWs‘ accomodations. There many prisoners were brutally ...... and probably some even murdered.

 
   
 

The most buildings belong to a company dealing with surplus military equipment. All are in a very bad state and it’s only a question of time until they’ll start collapsing. All these huts have to be protected asmonuments, so their owner must keep them in good repair.
