Note: "Camp Quedlinburg was a prisoner-of-war camp 2 Kilometers north of Quedlinburg, Germany, during the First World War.

The POW camp was built on the Ritteranger two kilometres north of Quedlinburg in September 1914. From 1914 to 1922, an average of 12,000 to 18,000 prisoners of war were accommodated here. Around 27,000 people lived in the neighbouring city of Quedlinburg at that time. A second settlement was therefore established here in terms of size. There were three official branch offices in Staßfurt, Atzendorf [de] and Aschersleben as well as other unofficial offices in Egeln, Halberstadt, Schönebeck, Groß Rodensleben, Schadeleben and Hedersleben." - (en.wikipedia.org 01.02.2020)
