Barrack 19, Ruhleben: A Topographical Drawing of Prisoner of War Quarters during World War I This evocative topographical drawing by Cyril Oppler depicts Barrack 19 at Ruhleben, a former racecourse in Germany that served as a prisoner of war camp during World War I. The camp, established in November 1914, housed over 10,000 British and French prisoners of war. Oppler's meticulous rendering captures the stark reality of life in the camp. The long, low-slung barracks are arranged in neat rows, each with its own distinctive number. The barbed-wire fence surrounding the compound is a stark reminder of the prisoners' confinement. The drawing also reveals the makeshift additions that the prisoners constructed to improve their living conditions, such as the chimneys and the communal ovens. The prisoners at Ruhleben were relatively fortunate compared to those held in other camps. They were allowed to form their own committees and manage their own affairs, and they were able to maintain a high level of morale through sports, music, and other cultural activities. However, conditions were still harsh, and the prisoners endured long hours of hard labor, inadequate food, and exposure to the elements. This drawing offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of a World War I prisoner of war camp. It is a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Cyril Oppler was a British artist and cartographer who served as an officer in the Royal Engineers during World War I. He was captured in 1915 and spent time at Ruhleben before being transferred to another camp. Oppler used his artistic skills to document his experiences, creating a series of drawings and watercolors that offer a vivid and detailed record of life in the camps. This drawing, titled 'Barrack 19, Ruhleben,' is one of the most famous and evocative of his works.
