Nazi Prisoner-of-War Camp to be Transformed into 4-Star Hotel

Description

Welcome to the Cultybraggan Camp in Perthshire, a place where Nazi German soldiers and officers would be held afterbeing captured during the Second World War. Believe it or not, the Comrie community revealed plans to renovate ten of the huts into a four star hotel. The former category A camp, built in 1941, held 4,000 high security German prisoners-of-war between 1944 and 1948. It is reportedly the last of its kind to be preserved in the UK and Europe. A trust bought the site from the UK Ministry of Defence in 2005 and has since given permission to local businesses to take over the huts. Now, this former war-time prison is going to be transformed in a luxurious accommodation to pull in the tourists. would you ever stay in the same place as former Nazi prisoners of war?

  • Dinner in a 4-star hotel room, a way to escape from pandemic

    Brussels, Feb 13 (EFE), (Camera: Leopoldo Rodríguez).- In the intimate atmosphere of a hotel room and under a dim light, a decorated table with two plates awaits two diners who can enjoy a special menu and escape from the routine of teleworking. The Qbic hotel in Brussels has found a way to reinvent itself in times of pandemic taking advantage of the hotel's available rooms and turning them into an individualized dining room so that each guest —mainly couples— have a private space to enjoy their menu with all security measures.FOOTAGE OF THE QBIC HOTEL IN BRUSSELS.SOUNDBITES OF MELANIE, DINER.

  • Bacon and Sausage Factory to be Built on Site of Former Nazi Labor Camp

    Tucked away in a remote part of the Austrian Alps, this unassuming construction site is the center of a controversy because of its dark past. The usually normal construction of a meat factory in the Austrian municipality of Haiming, near Innsbruck, continued to raise major questions from locals. What's the big deal? Well, Austrian pork producer Handl Tyrol plans to build a bacon and sausage factory here, on the former grounds of a Nazi forced labour camp. During World War Two, hundreds of prisoners were made to build a dam for a hydro-electric power plant in the area. After the surrender of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, the former labor camp was cleared and remained empty until the land was acquired by Austrian power company Tiwag, which didn't care to develop the land. Recently, Tiwag approved the sale of the site to Handl Tyrol, who made plans to build a new factory as soon as possible. However, Tiwag's sale of the controversial site to the pork producer has garnered criticism from descendants of the former landowners of the site, who say that Nazi authorities pushed them off the land. Still others question the impact on history of building over the site with the checkered past. Handl Tyrol representatives have stated that the question of the sales' legality should have been handled between the former landowners and Tiwag, and have already confirmed that they would not delay construction.
