Emslandlager ("Emsland camps") were a series of 15 moorland labor, punitive and POWs-camps, active from 1933 to 1945 and located in the districts of Emsland and Bentheim, Lower Saxony, Germany. The central administration was set in Papenburg. From 1985 to 2011, the history of these camps was memorialized in the Dokumentations- und Informationszentrum (DIZ) Emslandlager in Papenburg. As of November 2011, this role has been taken over by the Gedenkstätte Esterwegen (Esterwegen Memorial).
