Oranienburg was primarily established as a site for a Nazi concentration camp during World War II, known as the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Its main purpose was to detain political prisoners, Jews, and other groups deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime, where they faced forced labor, inhumane conditions, and systematic extermination. The camp also served as a model for other concentration camps, showcasing the brutal methods of oppression and control employed by the Nazis. Additionally, it was used for medical experiments and as a training ground for SS guards.
