Gedenktafel Lager Hühnernest

This memorial plaque marks the site of the Hühnernest camp in Herzogenrath, a location connected to the National Socialist period. Little documented information about the camp survives in public sources — the name 'Hühnernest' (hen's nest) is characteristic of the informal designations given to the many small forced labor or barrack compounds that existed across German towns during World War II. The plaque represents a quiet, easily overlooked form of local remembrance: no monument, no visitor infrastructure, just a marker insisting that the place not be forgotten.
