Nohra was the location of the first Nazi concentration camp, established on March 3, 1933. Prisoners were incarcerated in a school building.[1]

The former Luftwaffe airbase at Nohra was used by the Soviet Army for helicopter operations from 1945 until their withdrawal in 1992. The airfield had a short runway, a hangar and a radio beacon.[2] Subsequently, the department for regional development largely demolished the complex, but a few elements were preserved because of their historic value, including a large stone statue of Lenin which was restored.[3]
