Berlin Tempelhof Columbia-Haus concentration camp…

19 Apr 2015 1 1 278
A memorial for Columbia-Haus; the building no longer exists. Columbia-Haus was a conversion of a former military prison by the Nazi party, in its earliest years. Initially a Gestapo prison, it was converted into a concentration camp. The prison, built to hold 150, typically had 450 inmates under the Nazi control. The concentration camp was closed in 1936 when a larger concentration camp was opened just outside Berlin; the building was demolished to make room for the expansion of the airport.

Berlin Tempelhof US Air Force (#2198)

Across the street from the northside of Tempelhof is the Columbia theater that was used by the US Air Force when Tempelhof was a US AF base. I could not find information on the building, but its streamline modern style would suggest that it was built in the 1930's.
