About this event
The Zittwerke was a camouflage company of the Junkers Flugzeugwerke from Dessau. Jumo engines for the Me262, a jet-powered fighter aircraft of the Wehrmacht, were manufactured here. In response to the bombing of Central Germany, production was relocated to the Zittau area in 1943/44. For this purpose, numerous factories in the region of the current tri-border area were requisitioned. A barracks in Kleinschönau, today's Sieniawka, was expanded to become the core of the production complex. Thousands of prisoners were forced to work there under inhumane conditions. Production began at the end of 1944. Large parts of the central complex are still standing today.
