Hainewalde concentration camp
Facts and practical information
On March 27, 1933, the SA established a protective custody camp at Hainewalde Castle in Hainewalde, Saxony, Germany. Initially SA-Sturm III under SA-Sturmführer Ernst Jirka guarded the camp, but in May this responsibility fell to SA-Standarte 102 under SA-Standartenführer Paul Unterstab. Altogether there were about 150 guards. The camp's commandant was SA-Sturmbannführer Müller and the adjutant was SA- Sturmbannführer Mittag. On April 12, 1933, the camp held 259 prisoners, but that number subsequently increased to almost four hundred. In total, approximately one thousand prisoners passed through the camp. ()
