Description

The Holzen Subcamp was a subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp consisting of four concentration camp barracks and several functional buildings from September 1944 to April 1945. It was located on the outskirts of the village of Holzen in today's Lower Saxony. The camp was occupied by at least 1100 and possibly up to 2000 concentration camp prisoners. They had to do forced labor for armaments projects under the code names Hecht und Stein within the underground armaments complex in Hils. When US troops approached, the prisoners were transported by train to the Buchenwald and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. No remains of the camp's buildings on a meadow have survived above ground.
