Background
The Kislau concentration camp, also known as KZ Kislau in German, was a concentration camp operating in Nazi Germany from April 21, 1933, until April 1, 1939. The Kislau concentration camp was located at the Kislau Castle in Baden-Württemberg. Before turning into a concentration camp, Kislau Castle served several purposes. In 1721, after it was initially constructed, it became a hunting lodge. Several decades later, in 1813, it was converted into a hospital and military barracks.
