The Hunswinkel work education camp was located about one kilometre south of Lüdenscheid, on the site of today's Versetalsperre. This camp was built in 1932 by the Hochtief company as part of the construction of the Versetalsperre for workers of the voluntary labor service. In 1938, this camp was taken over by the Reich Labor Service. In August 1940 it became the AEL Hunswinkel. At that time, it consisted of two barracks for 100 people each and a canteen barrack outside the fence. The barracks had no heaters. Germans and foreigners were sent to this camp, which was operated for lasting deterrence. During the service, which usually lasted six weeks with a daily working time of twelve hours, abuse was the order of the day. In 1945, the Hunswinkel AEL was also a concentration camp.
