Osterhagen

Osterhagen is a village near the town of Bad Lauterberg in the district of Göttingen in Lower Saxony, Germany.

Osterhagen lies on the Uerdingen line, in the traditional area of the Eastphalian language, a Low German dialect.

In July 1944, in a former brick pit near Osterhagen, a concentration camp for about 300 prisoners was built with the aim of finishing the Osterhagen-Nordhausen railway line.

[1][2] Today there is a memorial and an information panel on the edge of the former camp grounds.
