German WW2 Bremer Woll-Kämmerei company trip 1937 badge
It took a long time to ID this badge, there is no other like this one to be found, so we consider it very hard to find!
But we finally found that BWK stands for Bremer Woll-Kämmerei.
This was a well know textile factory for wool products(for example uniform material), important for the German war industri.
During the Second World War, the company employed a large number of forced laborers; in 1944, there were 1,198 people. They came predominantly from Poland and the Soviet Union. Between 1942 and 1945, the proportion of foreign forced laborers, including children, was around 45 percent of the workforce. The houses in which they were housed still exist today (e.g., on George-Albrecht-Straße). A residential camp, now demolished, was located on the nearby Bahrsplate. In June 2000, former forced laborers visited BWK.
