Prisoners in the Concentration Camps Linz I/III and Linz II

Helmut Fiereder

The present contribution is in table form and gives an overview of the surviving concentration camp prisoners of the concentration camps Linz I, Linz II and Linz III. The sources were lists of names of those prisoners interned in the Mauthausen concentration camp and transferred from there to the subsidiary camps mentioned above. These documents were written immediately after the liberation, probably by officials of the US forces and/or by members of the Red Cross. The Prisoner Entry Book of the Camp Guard Command of the Mauthausen camp served as the source for this document.

The sources contain details of around 70,000 prisoners of the Mauthausen concentration camp, who entered the camp between January 1944 and January 1945. 3,863 people are accounted for as survivors of the Linz camps. Our tables therefore neither give details of the total number of prisoners in the Linz camps nor the exact number of their victims. One can presume, however, that the concentration camps in Linz totalled roughly 7,500 to 8,000 prisoners. The exact number of victims is unknown.
