Durchgangslager Bietigheim, Transit camp near Bietigheim train station, Germany
The camp consisted of multiple barracks arranged in a rectangular layout measuring 150 by 200 meters, with separate sections for processing and housing.
From 1942 to 1945, the transit camp processed approximately 200,000 forced laborers, primarily from Eastern Europe, who were sent to work locations across Southwest Germany.
The camp maintained two distinct areas divided by a fence, where arriving workers underwent medical examinations and decontamination procedures before their distribution.
The facility contained accommodation for 1,200 people, though occupancy rates frequently exceeded capacity, reaching peaks of 3,000 individuals during 1944.
Medical facilities at the camp performed documented forced medical procedures, while connected hospitals in Pleidelsheim and Grosssachsenheim handled infectious diseases.
