The Sudetenquell GmbH owned by the SS -own German farms GmbH in late 1938 was as mineral water producer in the Sudetenland during World War II founded. In order to further develop the existing mineral water springs near Krondorf-Sauerbrunn in the Sudetenland on a large scale, a forced labor camp was opened in August 1942 . This was a satellite camp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp . By 1944 the Schutzstaffel (SS) had bought up 75 percent of the mineral water producers in the Sudetenland with the intention of establishing an imperial mineral water monopoly.
