List of satellite camps of Sachsenhausen concentration camp
This list includes satellite camps of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp between 1942 and 1945. The terms concentration camp sub -camps and concentration camp sub-camps are used synonymously.
The list may also contain external detachments from which (initially) the prisoners were taken to the place of forced labor on a daily basis without an independent camp organization. In contrast to the sub-camp, an external command means a more or less large group of inmates who were taken daily from a concentration camp to their place of work as slave laborers under guard. It happened on various occasions that outside commandos gradually developed into independent concentration camps under the administration of a main camp or within the SS Economic and Administrative Main Office (SS-WVHA).
From 1942 onwards, more than 100 satellite camps and external commandos were established in the Berlin armaments factories . B. in the vicinity of Siemens , DEMAG tanks, Henschel works , Daimler-Benz , IG Farben and the AEG . As a result, thousands of Germans encountered large numbers of concentration camp prisoners every day at their workplace or on the way there, some of whom worked in the same halls as these. Some of them controlled as forewoman or champion their activities and their results and had the opportunity to their living conditions through a contact with the SS guards to influence.
From May 1936 to May 1937, the Heinkel factories were built in Oranienburg and Germendorf , as the main factory in Rostock - Marienehe was at full capacity in terms of production. In this new plant there was also a sub-camp in which up to 5,000 prisoners had to work.
The most dangerous part of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp for the prisoners was the brickworks , a large brickworks with its own port at the Lehnitzschleuse . Here were bricks for many of Albert Speer's major construction projects in Berlin (plans for world capital Germania) produced (see also command spear ). Here, too, a permanent sub-camp was established with the Sachsenhausen concentration camp as the main camp.
