      Dachau

      May 6, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      A quelques minutes de Munich se trouve le camp de concentration de Dachau. Nous avons pu le visiter ce matin.

      "Le travail rend libre" est inscrit sur la porte en fer à l'ouverture de camp.

      Pour tous ces hommes qui sont venus ici pour notre liberté, merci 💪🏻Read more

      Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial

      October 12, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F

      Sobering, but absolutely worth going to. Dachau was the first concentration camp and the model for others, the training site of the SS, and the only camp in operation throughout the 12 year Nazi campaign. The large map shows the full size of the site when it was in operation. The smaller map is of the crematorium (the room with holes in the roof is the gas chamber). The wide open space was the "roll call" area.Read more

      Frühstück und Adieu München

      April 14, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      Sehr gut geschlafen begaben wir uns zum Frühstücksraum und traffen auf ein qualitativ sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet.

      Zusammenfassend können wir zu diesem Hotel folgendes schreiben:

      Super Hotel. Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Sauber, hell und teilweise im typisch bayrischen Stiel. Sehr zentral gelegen und viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuss erreichbar. Selbst ist eine Tiefgarage gegen Aufpreis verfügbar. Preis Leistung, so finden wir, zu günstig für die Leistungen. Wir bezahlten Doppelzimmer mit Frühstück €141.00 für eine Nacht. Und dies in München City.

      Mit der S2 fuhren wir mit unserem Gepäck nach Markt Indersdorf. Leider verpassten wir in Dachau den Anschluss auf Grund der deutschen „Pünktlichkeit des ÖPNV“.

      Mit unseren Koffern zu Fuss zur WoMo-Vermietung BG Camperworld, sahen wir schon von Weitem das Wohnmobil. Nachdem wir freundlich von Marco und Franz begrüsst wurden, standen wir nun vor diesem riesen Teil. Eine Länge von 886 cm, eine Breite von 235 cm und eine Höhe von 350 cm zeichnen das Flagschiff von Dethleffs aus. Dies ist für die nächsten 7 Nächte unser fahrendes Zuhause. Nach einer 90 minütigen super Einführung durch Marco in die Spezifikationen und Techniken des Globentrotters, richteten wir uns darin kurz ein, verliessen das Gelände und fuhren ca. 300m bis zum Parkplatz eines Discounters und kauften das Nötigste für die nächsten Tage ein. Ein Platzregen erwischte uns beim Einladen der gekauften Leckereien. Anschliessend ging die Fahrt los.

      Dachau

      July 27, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      A hard day today - at Dachau Concentration Camp. It was a brilliantly assembled exhibition and memorial but a harrowing site to visit. Some of the site was reconstruction but it would be hard to know that without the presented information. In the prisoners camp, through a (replica) gate which says 'Arbeit Macht Frei', the maintenance building housed an exhibition from the end of WWI to the opening of Dachau, and then on explaining how Dachau was used, grew and changed over time before liberation on 29 April 1945, and the ensuing Dachau trials.

      Beyond the reconstructed barrack blocks, there were Protestant, Catholic and Jewish memorials. At the crematorium, it was difficult to walk past the ovens and through the gas chamber (which wasn't used en masse in the way it was at other camps, but still). The gardens surrounding the crematorium had been made into memorials for the ashes that had been deposited in them.

      We followed the Path of Remembrance back to Dachau town, this was the 3km route many prisoners were forced to walk to the camp.      Read more

      Dachau and art gallery

      June 29, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      Today we woke up and did a group tour of the Dachau concentration camp which we learned was the first one there was. The tour was very informational and sad but important to see. The guide was very knowledgeable and offered a lot of information as he’d been doing it everyday for 10 years. The whole tour took most of the day but we spent the rest of the afternoon at the Alte Pinakothek art gallery where there were some Van Goghs and Monets. Then we met up with some of the people from the hostel for the night.Read more

      Dachu Concentration Camp

      December 20, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 32 °F

      It’s amazing how two horrific places in history can feel different. Today we visited Dachau Concentration Camp. When we entered we both immediately noticed the size difference, Dachau was much smaller. Most of it was empty, simply surrounded by wire fences. The basic layout was the same as Sachsenhausen but wasn’t designed as intimidating.

      As we walked through the buildings, most of them were recreations as the originals were demolished or had fallen apart over the years. The majority of the memorial was housed where the former maintenance building had been placed. This huge museum walked through the history of the camp and what happened there. The stories told were absolutely tragic.

      However once leaving the museum very few buildings remained on the site. There were two recreated barracks which we found slightly more cramped than Sachsenhausen. The old prison stood intact. As we walked through the cold halls we could feel the pain of those imprisoned in those cells.

      Beside the prison, the only other original buildings was the original crematorium and barrack x, which was the name of the second crematorium and gas chamber. These buildings were the most powerful part of the memorial. To think about the tens of thousands of bodies that had passed through the crematorium was sickening. The gas chambers were constructed at the end of the camp and were never used.

      While the experience was different between the two camps the end result is clear: What happened here is horrific. How could this have been allowed? How can we make sure it never happens again? None of these are easy questions to answer but they must be answered or we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes again.      Read more

      38. Dachau Concentration Camp

      March 13 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Today we both woke up aching a little from all the walking yesterday, so we decided to drive instead of bike to Dachau concentration Camp.

      We headed into the camp and firstly stopped at the prison, it was very detailed when explaining the crimes which the Nazi's made against these innocent people. If you made it into camp prison, you were in for a very rough time. Towards the end of the war they even filled the cells with partions so they couldn't lie nor sit down and they would keep prisoners in here for days at a time.

      We then headed into the main building of the camp , here it explained about how the camp was ran. Despite being only a small camp, they had 188,000 inmates. The living conditions were awful and disease spread quickly. It was already running by 1933 and ran up to being liberated by the US army.

      We visited the memorial and the mass grave outside the front of the building, still felt sickening that this ever happened, was a really emotional day reading the individual stories. Afterwards we headed into the only block left which the inmates shared. The last stop was the worse bit, it was a visit to a Gas chamber and crematorium. This was really sad and felt quite unnerving to visit. The Nazi's had destroyed all records before the camp was liberated and have declined any evidence of the gas chambers really being used, but this has always been testified by the survivors. It is estimated that 44,000 people died whilst the camp was running.

      Afterwards we started to head towards Bad Tolz, the van went into intermittent limp mode to add to the emotions, so we stopped and seeked advice with a garage, who managed to clear the fault and send us on our way. They did this for free despite being offered some money, was very kind of them.

      We gave the van a run and it seemed to run fine so we carried on our journey, after stopping for the van services we headed to a free park up by a sports complex. We had a nice evening in the end watching "The Gentleman" on Netflix, definitely worth a watch.      Read more

      Dachau - Ort des Grauens

      April 9, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

      Nach der vielen guten Laune der letzten 2 Tage ging es nun geschichtlich und kulturell weiter. Zuerst in das Konzentrationslager in Dachau. Etwa 2h waren wir insgesamt hier, wir hätten uns aber auch länger hier aufhalten können. 1933 erbaut als "Prototyp" und Gefangenenlager für verschiedene Menschengruppen sind bis 1939 auch nur weniger Menschen hier gestorben. Dachau wurde auch offiziell nie als Vernichtungslager gebraucht. Ab 1939, zum Beginn des 2. Weltkriegs, stieg dann die Brutalität und Gewält im Lager und damit auch die Opfer. Am 29. April 1945 folgte dann die Befreiung durch die Amerikaner. Wir haben die Stehzellen, einen Nachbau der Baracken, das schreckliche Krematorium mit der Gaskammer besucht. Diese wurde damals den Inhaftierten als Dusche mit "Brausebad" verkauft. Ein schrecklicher Ort, der trotzdem ein Teil der Geschichte der Menschen ist.Read more

      Besuch bei der Familie Grams 🤗💛

      September 3, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Am Vormittag gingen wir noch eine kleine Runde spazieren und die Hunde tobten. 😊 Danach verabschiedeten wir uns von den vieren. Wir hoffen, dass wir uns bald wieder sehen. 🤗💛

      Danach machten wir uns auf den Weg Richtung München. Heute besuchten wir Tinos Cousine und deren Familie. Wir freuten uns schon sehr, dass wir uns nach einem Jahr wieder sehen. 🥰

      Nach fast 3,5 Stunden Fahrtzeit kamen wir an. Wir quatschten, tranken einen Kaffee und genossen die gemeinsame Zeit. 😊

      Später gingen wir noch eine Runde spazieren und am Abend bestellten wir Pizza. 🍕

      Es war ein sehr, sehr schöner Tag, mit wundervollen Gesprächen. 😊💛 Freuten uns so sehr, alle wiederzusehen! 💛      Read more

      An end to a dream.

      August 13, 2020 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Today, we left the city of Salzburg, and headed for Germany. Especially Munich.
      As we wanted to cross the border, the customs, waved us to stop. As I stopped, the officer said: "You can continue your journey, but I wanted to say you have a nice car!..."
      ..
      Welcome in Germany.
      ..
      The climbs we had to do were far more worse than straight through Austria, but Lieske might be old, but not yet done.
      ..
      We needed to go to Munich and visit the ADAC, this organisation issues the "carnet de Passage" which we would have needed for Iran.
      But as corona F#$@ckt our journey real bad, we will not make it to that destination anymore.
      So by personally delivering back the Carnet, it's a formal end to a dream.
      Lieske will probably never touch Iranian soil.
      ..
      The ADAC was realy friendly, and ensured us that the deposit money will be released within a few days.
      ..
      As this done. And it was a serious day anyway, I decided to visit the concentration camp memorial of Dachau.
      This camp was the bleu print for all camps build by the Nazis during and befor the second World war.
      Impressive and sad.
      We should never forget.
      After this "moment of sadness " we looked for some happy stuff, and found it in a nice piece of "apfelstrudel mit Eis und Sahne"..
      As life goes on...
      Now.. heading for a campsite.
      ...
      Tomorrow.. Stuttgart.      Read more
