List of the Buchenwald subcamps

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of the Buchenwald subcamps gives an overview of the numerous Buchenwald subcamps. The Buchenwald concentration camp was one of the major concentration camps of the SS on German soil. Between July 1937 and April 1945, it was operated on the Ettersberg near Weimar, primarily as a camp for the exploitation of forced labor by concentration camp inmates (as opposed to the extermination camps ). Most of the satellite camps were also assigned to a specific manufacturing process , in which the prisoners were massively exploited and some of them were killed. History and law clearly distinguish the concentration camp as a labor camp from an open forced labor camp .

In addition to the main camp, there were at times a large number of sub-camps in many different locations; the Fichtenhain special camp and a quarantine camp ( small camp , demarcated part within Buchenwald concentration camp). In March 1944, the SS administration increased the number of satellite camps to 22 other concentration camps, which were administered from here as part of war production. In the last months of the war, many smaller camps existed from the outset as provisional intermediate steps before the foreseeable end of the war. Today it is sometimes difficult to understand where a permanent camp was set up in this phase or where it can only be seen as a stage in the retreat from the approaching Allies.

The listed camp numbers refer to the numbering of the project Germany - a memorial , initiated by Sigrid Sigurdsson .
