Krondorf-Sauerbrunn subcamp

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Krondorf-Sauerbrunn satellite camp was set up as a satellite camp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp in the municipality of Krondorf-Sauerbrunn northeast of Karlsbad. It was the first satellite camp of this concentration camp in the Sudetenland . It existed from August 19, 1942 to July 15, 1944 and comprised 50 to 120 prisoners. The concentration camp prisoners were initially housed in barracks and later in a fenced villa that belonged to Heinrich Mattoni AG . On behalf of the SS Economic and Administrative Main Office (SS-WVHA), a spring was taken and a spring temple and a filling system for mineral water were built for Heinrich Mattoni AG. In addition, the track systems of Heinrich Mattoni AG were repaired.

The SS guards consisted of 20 SS men and were headed by the construction officer SS-Untersturmführer Horst Köhler. The site manager Horst Köhler protected the prisoners from the abuse of the first commando leader, SS-Scharführer Johann Baptist Kübler. Kübler was replaced by SS-Untersturmführer Zippe.

The camp was not far from the Wickwitz – Gießhübl-Sauerbrunn local railway .

Today the mineral water producer Karlovarská Korunní Kyselka sro is based there.
