Part of Loft, Barrack 7, Ruhleben
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating topographical drawing by the renowned artist Cyril Oppler, depicting a section of Barrack 7 in the Ruhleben military camp during World War I. The meticulously detailed image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the prisoners of war (POWs) held at this camp, located in the outskirts of Berlin, Germany. Ruhleben was a former racecourse that was repurposed as a British military internment camp in the autumn of 1914. The camp housed over 9,000 British soldiers who had been captured during the early stages of the war. Conditions at Ruhleben were generally considered to be better than those in other POW camps, as the prisoners were allowed to maintain a degree of self-governance and were able to establish a vibrant community. This drawing by Cyril Oppler captures the loft area of Barrack 7, which was used as a communal space for the prisoners. The image reveals the makeshift beds, arranged in rows, and the various personal belongings that the soldiers had managed to bring with them or acquire during their time at the camp. The drawing also shows the large windows, allowing natural light to filter in, and the wooden beams of the loft, which provided a sense of structure and stability amidst the uncertain circumstances of wartime imprisonment. Cyril Oppler's "Part of Loft, Barrack 7, Ruhleben" is an essential historical record of life in a World War I POW camp. The drawing not only provides insight into the living conditions of the prisoners but also serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to adapt and create community even in the most challenging of circumstances.
