How many subcamps did the Dachau concentration camp have?<\/h1>\n

In the historical sources there is no uniform designation used for the
\nsubcamps (sometimes they are called work details, labor camps, external work
\ndetails, subcamps and sub work details). Recent studies have established the
\nterm \u201csubcamp\u201d as a uniform designation for those locations outside the grounds
\nof a concentration camp where prisoners were accommodated and forced to work.
\nIn contrast, when prisoners had to march to a specific site to work, but
\nreturned to the main camp in the evening, research now speaks of a \u201cwork
\ndetail\u201d.<\/p>\n

The subcamps attached to the main Dachau concentration camp were
\nextremely divergent: there were very small camps with just one or two
\nprisoners, but also large subcamps for several thousand prisoners. The historian
\nSabine Schalm has therefore proposed a further conceptual differentiation:<\/p>\n

She calls camps with fewer than 500 prisoners \u201cexternal work details\u201d.
\nThey did not have any complex camp structure, important administrative
\nprocedures were organized and carried out by the main camp office. The
\nprisoners and guards were under the command of a single detail leader. Prisoner
\naccommodation was provisional in character, often the prisoners were housed in
\nexisting factory buildings, garages, or huts.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Schalm calls camps with more than 500 prisoners \u201csubcamps\u201d:
\nthey had a complex administration structures and offices, meaning that, unlike
\nthe external work details, they could be administered directly on site with a
\nrelatively large amount of autonomy. They had their own command staff, headed
\nby a camp leader, who reported directly to the commandant of the main camp and
\nhad several detail leaders under his command. The prisoners were accommodated
\nin structures especially built for this purpose and located within a guarded
\nenclosure.<\/p>\n
