At the 'Sickenhäuser Straße' in Reutlingen, Germany, Baden-Württemberg do four old barracks still exist. They have been a part of a prisoner of war camp called 'ADRULA' during WWII.

Some hundred of men and woman have been forced to work at the factories of 'Emil Adolff'. And here they lived in eight barracks.

The camp was called 'ADRULA' (ADolffs RUssen LAger - Camp of Adolff's Russians).
Their natinalities are not known. But surely most of them have been Russians.

Overall there have been more than 4,000 forced laborers in Reutlingen. More than 100 of them died.


Nowadays there's a memorial plate to remeber them.
