An extremely thought-provoking site. Heart-breaking to see and hear what happened here. The museum is extensive and impressive and gives you a truly honest account of the experiences of the prisoners…Full review by Glynis B

This is the first concentration camp I visit. So quiet, so sad. 30,000 prisoners died here between 1938-1945. Lot to see and read in this camp.Full review by samuel8248
I have a few artifacts my Father brought back from the camp. He was in the USA 405th Div. approximately late April 1945-Nov.-Dec 1946 poste at camp. 1 ring, carved wooden baton and photos. All taken from former SS prisoners. Would camp curator like these donated?

Yes, I am convinced that they would accept this with all the honour. The camps Museum is really impressing and there are some artifacts from prisoners showed. So, I would say …
Yes, I am convinced that they would accept this with all the honour. The camps Museum is really impressing and there are some artifacts from prisoners showed. So, I would say send them, bring them because Flossenburg has to be remembered. Bye
In September 2017 I will be in Bamberg, Germany and want the best way to do a 1 day trip to Flossenburg CC and return to Bamberg. Train, Bus, both or hire a taxi. Thank you !!

A taxi would be expensive as it's about 143km. Do you have an international license to rent a car? If you download the DB Navigator app, it will tell you the train schedule. You can google Bamberg to Flossenburg and it will tell you the public transportation available. although it would be a long trip. Best bet is to rent a car, if you can. Flossenburg is a small city so public transportation might be limited getting to and from.
Are the concentration camp grounds and museum located in the same place? How long should you allow for both the grounds and museum? Is the tour recommended? How is this compared to Dachua which we visited before?

The museum is located inside the concentration camp. I would plan for at least half a day to view everything. We did not take the tour, everything is well documented and available in English. We also visited Dachau, which is a lot larger than Flossenburg and has many more visitors. We felt that our experience in Flossenburg was more personal due to the act that there were not so many people there when we were. The information sinks in and you have a chance to really contemplate what had happened here.
how to get there using public transport from frankfurt or nuremberg please, also best train fares etc.

Got the Regional Train 3013 platform 19 from Nuremberg central at 9.45 am to Weiden. Got the 6272 Bus outside train station to Flossenburg concentration Camp which is the last stop,and arrived there at approx at 12 .00 pm We got the 15.06 Bus back to Weiden and got the Train from Platform 4 back to Nuremberg. The Bayern ticket covers bus and train tickets which cost €28 for two people from ticket machine using only local transport thats for one to five people which is good value.
