My parents met and married in "Durzyn" in 1947 and left in 1949 for Australia. I have several photos from Wildflecken and they are available for anybody to look at on the following internet sites. There are two albums so there are two different addresses. I would be happy to hear from anybody regarding these. The sites are: www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2004320&l=242a8&id=1279664376 and www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2004032&l=b41dc&id=1279664376.

Chris, The documents I have from Wildflecken are a combination birth/baptism record. They were issued by the Roman-Cath. Parochial Office. If you write to the archive, request a copy of the page from their book. Otherwise they will just send you a form, stating the date of your birth, and your parents' names. The full page on the other hand, will have more information, including what building your parents lived in, as well as the time of your birth, and which hospital the birth took place.

Does anyone have an original birth certificate from Wildflecken. I have one but it states it was issued by the State of New York Dept of Health. More than likely this was created when my stepfather adopted me after marrying my Mother here in the states. I am currious as to what an origianl looks like. Maybe if you have an original you can send me a photo so I can see. Otherwise I will try to get a copy from Germany. I also don't think the information is correct but another instance of bad interpretation from German to English.

I was stationed at Wildflecken (pronounced Wild-Flicken by US Service Members) in 1989 and 1990. It was really quite ironic as this was considered bad duty by others in Germany, I included, but once I was “permit party” this was a really good assignment. We lived by the range, so didn’t have to travel. When we went to the field, we were home in 30 minutes. The PX and Commissary were nothing to write home about, but most everything we needed was there, and it was a very tight community. All in all, I enjoyed my time there, and felt it was a lot better than my time in Frankfurt or Darmstadt….

Very cold though. This place set the standard on TA-50 cold weather gear…..

Dear W Cisek,

if you were born in Germany, you have to address your birth town's civil administration, giving them at least full name, date of birth and any other information you might have (name of parents). A search will only be successful if you address the right administration or if you can give enough information to find it. In case this is unsuccessful, please contact the International Tracing Service in Bad Arolsen, Germany.

Hi,
My mother was born in a camp named I think, Bathreinchal....and her twin sisters were born in Wildflecken. My mothers name was Anna Helen Wojciechowski. She was born in 1945 and her death certificate shows her being born in Groskochberg, Germany. Both this town name and the camp name do not appear in any google searches that I have done.

I had just heard a play on BBC radio about Kathryn Hulme, and her writing of her best-selling novel "A Nun's Story", which was later made into a famous film starring Audrey Hepburn. It was inspired by her meeting and working with a Belgian ex-nun at this camp. Very interesting and thought-provoking site, and so much detail. Thanks to all those who have put it together. Jeremy

Many thanks for this touching website. My father-in-law was born in Poland right after the start of the war. He and his family were at Camp Wildflecken, but he didn't like to talk about it. After he passed away last Dec., we came across lots of photos from the camp. I would like to learn more in order for my son to know family history.

Dzien Dobry,

I was also born in a DP camp, in 1948, in Wendorf, just outside of Hamburg. My father was a POW (1939-45, Lager 11B) having been a rifleman in the Polish army and my mother, also Polish, was taken as slave labour to work in a munitions factory in the vicinity of Neuebrandenburg. Looking at this website, I am amazed at the quantity and quality of the documentation about this particular DP camp that was home to so many Poles. I have found very little about Wendorf DP camp, except for the odd reference here and there but nothing about the camp itself, life in the camp, how it functioned etc. I have in my possession a large collection of pictures from that camp where I was born including DP documentation and other papers. Perhaps somebody here is familiar with Wendorf DP camp and can point me in the right direction. Thank you very much for a wonderful site. It was a very emotional experience reading all the documents. Pozdrawiam, Bogdan Karasek

While being stationed in nearby Bad Kissingen with the U.S. Army in 1959 - 1961 our artillery unit spent two week perioeds several times at Wildflecken. Until reading your many historical accounts of this facility I did not know the great history of this place. I commend all of those people who made this information available.

Hi,

It aas a revelation to find this Site.
I was born in Wildflecken in Dec 1947, and as i have no real information on the place this was great to see.

We, Father, Mother and my younger sister, emmigrated to Australia from Wildflecken in 1950, arriving in Fremantle, Perth on the "Anna Salen" on the 31st Dec 1950. New Year's eve, can you believe it!

Life has taken many turns since then, but we are all well, Father passed away many years ago, have grown famalies and even Granchildren.

Because my parents hardly spoke about their time during the War, or at Wildflecken, the only means of background history is to get onto the Web, which provides a "mine" of information.

Thanks for the insight to this part of my own History.

For information: my Mother's name is Janina and my Father's is Wladislaw.

Cheers,
Bob Dabrowski

Researching my father, Miron Tarnawczyk, and his family at the moment. He was born in Wolica, Poland. By chance I found a document stating that during his time in Wildflecken - Durzyn, Area No. 3, Unit II, he was not punished, issued for the time 1946 to 1948. When I did a search as to what Wildflecken was I could not believe it. I now know all about it and have a piece of information regarding his life I never knew about.
What a fantastic site, the photos, I even have a few photos of him standing out the front of a building which looks identical to the one on your site.
I am about to email my cousin in Poland to tell her to have a look as apparently her grandmother was here with my father.
Thank you for this site.

Doing my annual sign in again - Gosh, the site has changed! It looks wonderful but I miss all my old friends postings - I suppose it was impossible to keep them - I have always wondered when the decendants of the old DP/Labor camp would find this site and start inquiring about the past history - It was absolutely touching to read some of the postings. It confirms why the camp and the history is so important - I read K. Hulmes Book while I was there - it was in our Library and I also have a copy - I pull it out now and then to refresh my memory about the history of Wildflecken - I have visited a couple of times in my career - but it just made me sad because the post isn't very active anymore and it is hard to get permission to get on - (at least it was the times I visited) - I think the camp should be made into a historic site and be opened to the public - I do so hope someone is caring for the old cemetaries and ruined buildings. It would be ashamed if all is allowed to fall into rack and ruin - Maybe someone will talk to "Pitzi" about this. All for now - contact me if you know me or if you just want to talk about those times at the "Wildspot".

I am so please to have found this Web site and the information on it! My father lived in the camp from 1945 - 1951. His mother and grandmother died in the camp. His father remarried and the three migrated to Detroit, MI in 1951. Anyone with information about the names Franciszek Rudnicki, Czeslaw Rudnicki, Helena Rudnicki, Maria Kopec, or Helena Banaszek is invited to contact me!

Also, I would very much like to get in contact with Joe Malecki from Illinois, who provided many of the pictures on this site. There is a photo of school children behind desks... I strongly suspect that my father might be one of the children. I'd love to get a higher resolution copy of the photo or more information about it!

I was in UNRRA camps in the US sector at Coburg, Ingolstadt, and Regensburg.
The descriptions and photos remind me very much of the vague memories I have of that existence.
My family left the camp at Regensburg in December 1949 for Bremershaven.

There we boarded the Gen. Ballou, a former US troopship, for a ten-day crossing to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Hello,

I am searching for my relatives. His name was VLADAS MIZEIKIS. and he
was in Germany, city Lubeck at Displaced Persons camp in British zone.
Who could help me to find some information considering his life in
LUBECK?

I would like to clarify:
we are searching for any details, any entries, any information
CONSIDERING THE SURNAME CHANGE FACT and other information AVAILABLE!

Some more information about VLADAS MIZEIKIS

in Germany he COULD be known as:
VLADAS MIZEIKIS
or
BRONIUS MOZURAS

//keep it in mind, while searching...

He changed name and surname in Germany (while living there 1945-05-18
: 1947-08-14).
Because of war, but no details about, and we are SEARCHING ANY
INFORMATION FOR IT (or other information).

In Germany he arrived 1945-05-18, and later... Port "Bremerhaven" he
left on 14-08-1947, and after 8 days he landed in HALIFAX in Canada.

He was at deportee camp in city LUBECK in British zone of Germany.

Looking forward for your reply to EMAIL.

I was born at Camp Wildflecken on 23rd January 1946 to Hedwig Piuro (Jadwiga Pioro). I do know how long she/we were at the Camp as my mother is not willing to share her memories. In July 1990, my husband and I visited Wildflecken and were invited to visit the Camp. There we met Frau Hummel who was working as 16 year old telephonist at the Camp at the time of my birth. Records at the Church in Wildflecken show that I was baptised on 23rd January 1946, Priest was Wojciech Gtuszek, and the Sponsors were Bogdan Kasruba and Lucia Czapla. My mother is now 80 years old and lives in Adelaide, South Australia. If there is anyone who can remember my mother, or has any other information of interest, I would be keen to receive the contact. It was a great thrill to come across this Website and discover the great interest.

In the late 1960's my father, Sgt. Raymond Wesley, was stationed in Wildflecken. I have many happy memories of living there... one being a Girl Scout. On many occasions, my troop cleaned debri from the Polish Cemetery. My mother, Helen (school nurse at Wildflecken Elem.) made my brother and me aware of the history of the camp and we often wondered about those displaced individuals who lived there before us. I did read The Wild Place and wish I still had my copy of the book. Good luck to all of you who are researching your families who came through Wildflecken.

The medical staff at the Wildflecken Military Base Hospital put me back together after I survived a gas stove explosion in Scwheinfurt. Thanks to their skill and loving care, I am alive and functioning well. This happened sometime around 1950-1951 when I was a very little girl. Don't remember much of the place other than big sunny windows and lots of music. Apparently, I was in one of the smaller buildings. To this days certain opera arias bring back memories of that room with the big sunny windows.

Have you written to The Dept. of Immigration? They should be able to provide you with copies of Visas that were issued by the IRO, they may have other information as well, and of course your parents (if alive) are a good sources, as well as their friends, your godparents, etc. Hope this helps, janie

Thankfully his parents and him were able to flee to the US here in New York a little less then 2 years later, I just want to say that I appreciate being able to learn a little more about this and it helps me and him become closer, once again thank you to whoever the creaters of this site may be.

Mr. Adamski

It is great to find a site that delas with the DP Camp in Wildflecken, Germany. I have tried to record some of my recollections of my life there from the age of 7 until 12. We must have been the last to leave the refugee camp when it closed for us in 1950 or 51. It is great to be able to read your and others recollections. Thanks to all of you

Can you help me get started? Milo was born in 1948 and I was born in 1950 in Paderborn. I'm just beginning my search but I am anxious to find out about the camps my parents were in (Italy & Germany from 1947-1951) Any suggestions would be appreciated for getting started. Many thanks and my best wishes to all of you.

My parents met in Germany after the war
and lived in Wildflecken from 1945-51 until they emigrated to Canada
My father Viktor Wiklo died in 1993. He was Polish from a small village near Kielce. The town was destroyed in a reprisal action and many people murdered. He was captured and taken to concentration camp. He ended up in Dachau at the end of the war. He was in Wildflecken and also perhaps other camps. We have papers with Ludwigsburg stamped on them as well as Wildflecken. My mother was a forced labourer from the Crimea. She was from a mixed Polish/Ukrainian family living in Russia. She spoke German and for that reason says the Germans pressed her into service to translate to other slave labourers. She survived somehow and ended up in Wildflecken eluding the forced patriations back to the USSR. She spoke Polish and met my father. They married and lived there until 1951. In January 1951 they emigrated to Canada. They had agreed to a contract to work for a farmer in the Canadian Prairies. My older brother (born in Wildflecken in 1945) took sick on route by train from Halifax. They had travelled to Canada by boat. Does anyone know of a ship named "Goya"? My mother says she argued with the Canadian Immigration officials about continuing to the praires after the farmer departed unwilling to wait any longer with my brother sick in hospital. My mother was very courageous. They threatened to send her back to Europe. She stood her ground and they sent us to a place near Ottawa Canada. She had many friends of Polish and Ukrainian orgin from that time in Ontario. My parents spoke of many friends who emigrated to the USA, Australia, and New Zealand. If anyone reading this have any knowledge or knew my parents please write
I am really excited about this site and plan to write more.
I am pleased to see so many children and grandchildren of forced labours and camp survivors writing on this site

I saw that Janie Micchelli had sent a comment to Mike our web master.
I'm the historian for our web page and I see that Janie asked about
the Flying Tiger Line and if the airplane # N67548 was the plane that her
relatives had arrived in the U.S. on. If the landing card said that the plane
was # N67548, then that is the airplane. It was a DC-4 or C-54 being both

I recently found my husband's birth mother, Lucija Libergs. She died March 20, 1950, In Amberg, Bavaria sanitorium for TB.
He has a paper saying she was single and Protestant that came with him when he was brought to USA for adoption by Lutherans in fall of 1950. It turns out she was a married Catholic and we now have the city and date she was born, we have her parents'names, and I have a name of my husband's first cousin in Latvia!!
We will be talking to her soon. Keep searching, everyone, this took me 2 1/2 yrs of letters, emails, etc, but now he has some history!

I was an MP that went to Wildflecken on a few occasions. I remember it was very cold and the only heat we had in the barracks was a wood stove,and that we tore up the wooden floor to use as fire wood. A beautiful place with more memories than I can relate at this time. I was there at times between 1966 and 1968.

My step-father was stationed in Wildflecken form 1971-1973. I was 12 to 14 years old during my stay. Remember well, the long and cold winters and the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. Enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I'm origianally from South West France of Polish and French descent. My Grandfather in the US, Paul Klamerek was an escapee from Treblinka and after WW II ended was a refugge in Wildlflecken. My paternal Grandfather, Jan Banucha was sent from France for forced labor in Germany and Poland. He aslo spent a short time after the war in Wildflecken. Enjoyed Kathryn Hulme's book the Wild Place and have had the book since my days in Wildflecken. Trying to find out more information about my paternal Grandfather's background. Tried several Web Sites with no luck. My Grandmother in France did not know much about his early life in Poland.
Enjoyed this Web Site tremendously.

My father wrote the following paragraphs about his experiences in Wildflecken. I am currently having him record details of his experiences on audio tape.

After the war, they took us to (Wildflecken) Germany. This is where we kids started going to school. I guess I must have been ten years old by then. I couldn’t read or write a single word, but I sure liked to learn. The school was in Polish (directed by teachers who were refugees during the war). I participated in sports: soccer, volleyball, two tires (dwa ognie); anything the school had to offer Jane, Misko, Piotr, and me. I remember when mother used to bake sweet rolls and sell them at the market, where everyone was buying and selling what they had. But Ma’s sweet rolls were the best. Everyone liked them, especially first thing in the morning.

The place was like Maxwell Street in Chicago, you could buy and sell just about anything. You could hear people all over, yelling and shouting their wares like “Lucky na satuki a camele na wesele.” They were selling American cigarettes for like five and ten ptenigs each.

Mother would buy fresh fruit and vegetables for us kids so we would have some good things to eat. And life went on, I was pretty much on the loose, keeping company with kids somewhat older than myself, but somehow keeping out of real trouble.

The time went swiftly in Wildflecken for me as a child because we were always busy, always running around with other kids. Sometimes we would hike for miles through fields of wheat and get into gardens planted by German people and steal their fruit (and eat them sometimes). We would be spotted and they would give us chase, but we always managed to get away (even though most of us were barefoot). But our feet got used to the hard ground. They got as hard as the ground itself.

Just a little bit of "Wildflecken" trivia. I noticed that when Michael Adamski posted his note he mentioned that Wildflecken was also known as "Durzyn". On a couple of photos I have, "Durzynie" appears, so being as inquisitive as I am I asked Michael for an explanation, it follows: --Why "Durzyn"? We Poles have inclination to re-name places. When most of other nationalities from Wildflecken departed say at the fall of 1945 and the camp was filled with about 18 thousand people of Polish nationality to curb the disorder we had some sort of election in Wildflecken and set our own local government set on principle of a municipality. Of course it was still subsiervient to Director of UNRRA and American Military authorities. But internally in the camp we elected municipal like, our own authorities, police dpemartment, educational department, etc. There was even some competition to select a Polish name for our self-proclaimed municipality. And some one (I think Mr. Janta who was a pre-war writer and member of Polish Parliament if I am not mistaken) came with the idea to name our town (Wildflecken) "Durzyn" supposedly for the reason that about 15 hundred years earlier this part of Germany was settled by Slavic tribe "Durzynow" perhaps subpart of Luzyczan. How valid was this reasoning I am not sure, anyway name was accepted, it was written over the building occupied by local municipal offices and hence for a year or two we lived in Polish town of Durzyn in middle of Germany." Michael Adamski. Thanks Michael for sharing that bit of history, janie

Hello, I am looking for information on the displaced persons camp 36/4, Lager Moeckernstrasse in Hannover, Germany, I was born in the camp in September of 1946. We immigrated to Canada in 1948 on the ship AQUITANIA. My father did not accompany us. It appears that my father took on my mother's family name of TESLUK.

Unfortunately, I only recently learned that he did not pass away as I thought. He could have had extended family and other children. I do have pictures of him that I am willing to share if anyone is interested. My mother's name was OLGA (HELKA, HELENE). My sister is Maris Tesluk.

I was in DP camp Wildflecken or as in Polish was renamed Durzyn from Aug,1945 to Sept. 1946.After labour camps in Nazi -Germany it was for me the happiest time.Most of that time we have enough to eat.There were organized Polish schools , elemetary and high school.
In one year I managed to finish 4 years of lost high school and have certificate to prove it. Also I was the an active meber of Polish scouts (harcerstwo). We had a splendit Polish theater,organized by a group of pre-war Polish Artist from Wasaw "Stara Banda" who happen to be as DP in this camp as well,
staging high quality perfomances and plays for free. Also there was orginized Polish local municipal goverment and Camp Police.
How the situation deteriorated after many high calibre Polish DP departed to other places or emigrated I cannot tell becuse I myself in Sept. 1946 left Wildflecken to study in Polish College PWST in Esslingen, near Studgart.

I was born in Wildflecken in 1947 and do remember some. Seeing the pictures of the stone buildings reminds me of the single room that my family lived in before we were moved to a wood structure with
two rooms. I remember a family accross the way that raised chickens in the back. I was less than five and could not go to school with the big kids
but I remember on a visit to a class that all they did was so fasinating. My family was moved to Weilheim where my father died and shortly thereafter I was adopted by a lovely couple
from the states and now I am a citizen residing in Georgia.

It is indeed to be so fortunate as I, but one cannot forget the horrors of what happened to the parents.

Hello

My parents lived in Wildflecken when I was born. I have pictures of my parent's wedding and my christening. My mother also had a child in Wildflecken before me that died soon after being born. Those who want to know about other DP camps, please read the book "Bring forth the children" by Yul Brynner. It can still be found. Yul Brynner was in Ludwigsburg/Grunbuhl DP camp where I lived before I came to the US. In fact, my picture is in there. The book deals with various camps in Europe and other parts of the world. The next time I visit Germany, I will make it a point to drive to Wildflecken. I was in Germany two years ago where I visited my Polish friends and the DP camp in Weinsberg and Ludwigsburg. There is a small museum in Weinsberg made out of one of the barracks that stood there. Unfortunately, it was closed. If anyone wishes to ask me anything about DP camps, I will be happy to oblige.
