Polizeigefängnis Molenberg
1940 - 1945
The Sicherheitsdienst (SD)
put people trapped here
pending their release
or transfer to the
Scholtenhuis in Groningen
or to the concentration camp.

In Scholtenhuis on the Grote Markt in Groningen was from September 1944 the headquarters of the Sicherheitsdienst located. In this building were resistance fighters imprisoned in the attic and interrogated and tortured by the Germans. This gave the building a very bad reputation: the antechamber of hell. In the liberation of the city, the building burned down.
