Originally, the Wewelsburg was a castle built in the 17th century in the style of the Weser Renaissance. In the 1930s the castle became a prestige project of Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS. The Wewelsburg was to be built as a sanctuary and assembly center for SS officers. It was never finished. 'verinnern' is an art installation by Christa Niestrath and Christine Steuernagel in memory of the concentration camp prisoners imprisoned and murdered in the Third Reich. Prisoners were also forced to build on Himmler's Wewelsburg project.
