The first Nazi concentration camp was installed in Oranienburg in 1933; then in 1936 the Sachsenhausen mass extermination camp was built to the east of the town. Of the 200,000 inmates in the camp, over 100,000 were murdered.

The Sachsenhausen Memorial Site, built between 1958 and 1961, was designed by a group of architects led by L. Deiters, with sculpture by R. Graetz and W. Grzimek.
