Oranienburg: Sachsenhausen Memorial, Schloss Oranienburg, and the Brandenburg Town at the Havel Canal
Oranienburg has a population around 40,800 and lies about 35 kilometres north of Berlin in Brandenburg. The town's name comes from Louise Henriette of Orange-Nassau, wife of the Great Elector, who built Schloss Oranienburg in the 17th century as a summer residence. It was the first baroque palace in the Brandenburg-Prussian lands.
The Gedenkstaette Sachsenhausen, a former concentration camp where over 200,000 people were imprisoned between 1936 and 1945, lies at the town's northeastern edge. After the war, the Soviet NKVD operated a special camp on the same site until 1950. The memorial and museum are among Germany's most visited. The Havel canal provides water access. The TURM Erlebniscity is a leisure centre. The S-Bahn connects Oranienburg to Berlin Friedrichstrasse in about 45 minutes. The Lehnitzsee offers bathing in summer. Adult companionship follows Brandenburg's regulatory framework.
