Flossenbürg was a German concentration camp built in May 1938 by the SS Economic-Administrative Main Office at Flossenbürg, in the Oberpfalz region of Bavaria, near the pre-war border with Czechoslovakia. Between 1938, when the camp was established, and April 1945, more than 96,000 prisoners passed through Flossenbürg. About 30,000 died there.
Pre-World War II
Before World War II, Flossenbürg was a men's camp primarily for so-called "asocial" or "criminal" prisoners. The camp's site was chosen so that the inmates could be used as unpaid labor to quarry the granite found in the nearby hills. The quarries belonged to the SS-owned and -operated German Earth and Stone Works company.
