Escape from Colditz Castle | An emotive journey through time | Schlösserland Sachsen

Colditz Castle near Leipzig has a moving history. It was once a magnificent hunting lodge, later a symbol of the desire for freedom. The unrenovated state of many rooms gives it a unique lost-place feel. The castle walls harbor centuries of secrets. From April 17, 2024, they will be brought back to life with the "HistoPad" tablet guide.
Immerse yourself in the era of the Third Reich, when Colditz Castle served as the Oflag IV C prisoner of war camp. The Wehrmacht held many high-ranking Allied officers prisoner at the time. Despite creative escape attempts, only a few prisoners succeeded in making a homerun. Legendary escape attempts by POWs such as Pat Reid, the author of "The Colditz Story", still exert a special fascination today. Join in: Test at an interactive experience station whether you would have succeeded in escaping with the famous Colditz glider and set off on a treasure hunt with your tablet.
