It was located at a racetrack in Spandau, a suburb of Berlin, and the detainees were mostly housed in stalls originally intended for racehorses. The camp remained operative until Armistice Day in 1918. Of the 6 volumes of The Ruhleben Camp Magazine included here, vol. 5 constitutes a Christmas issue.
