In total, 460 men from all over Europe. More than half of the men arrived in Flossenbürg just before the subcamp was opened, having been on evacuation marches from the Groß-Rosen concentration camp.
The prisoners were quartered in the ballroom of the Colosseum guesthouse in Stadtamhof. From there they were forced to march to railway track sections damaged by air raids and remove the debris.
Detail leader Plagge and 50 SS guards. Plagge, a heavy drinker, beat the prisoners and was feared for his brutality.
In only five weeks, over 40 prisoners died.
The camp was evacuated in great panic during the evening of the 22nd-23rd of April, 1945; the prisoners had to march away in two columns. They were liberated either in Laufen or Leobendorf.
