Emslandlager

From 1985 to 2011, the history of these camps was memorialized in the Dokumentations- und Informationszentrum (DIZ) Emslandlager in Papenburg.

The Börgermoor concentration camp was also the birthplace of one of the best known protest songs, the "Peat Bog Soldiers".

Emslandlager was also the site of a post World War II British sector displaced person camp near Emsland in Lower Saxony in Germany.

Maczków was the name of the central town of a Polish military enclave in Emsland, Germany, existing from 1945–1947, later renamed back to Haren.

The town was returned to the original inhabitants when the Polish army unit returned to England in June 1947, and the Polish inhabitants of the town were either repatriated to Poland or moved to Great Britain.
