"Today, vogelsang ip is an international place of active remembrance, where in addition to conveying historical facts about the Nazi era, issues, messages and reflections regarding our present social life are addressed. The focus lies on the question: What has Vogelsang (still) got to do with me now?
Major parts of the 100 hectare Vogelsang complex were built by the National Socialists in 1934 with the aim of training selected party officials there. From 1946 until 2005 it was the centre of initially a British and later a Belgian military training ground.
The new “Forum Vogelsang”, which is going to be the information, exhibition and training centre of vogelsang ip, has been under construction since 2012. In total EUR 42 million in EU, federal government and shareholder funding will be invested into the listed complex as well as into the development of an NS Documentation Centre, a National Park Exhibition and the
Display Window Eifel.
During the construction phase a Visitor Centre, which is located in the CultureCinema vogelsang ip in the direct vicinity of the visitors’ car park, will be open to all guests!"
