Münchmühle subcamp
The Münchmühle camp in Stadtallendorf , Hesse, was a distant satellite camp of the Buchenwald concentration camp near Weimar . From August 1944 to the end of March 1945, 1000 female prisoners were housed in the camp, mainly from Hungary , but also from Slovakia . They were used for forced labor in the neighboring explosives factory of Gesellschaft mb H. for the recovery of chemical products (in short: Verwertchemie ), a subsidiary of Dynamit AG (→ Sprengstoffwerke Allendorf and Herrenwald ). Today there is a memorial here.
