Ironworks
About two hundred men worked at the Hubertus ironworks. On 17 January 1945 there were two hundred and two of them.
The works belonged to the Berghütte concern. The camp operated for less than two months.
The camp stood at the northern edge of the Hubertus ironworks. Finding the remains means going through the main gate of the Zygmunt ironworks and on along the works road.
Neither on the grounds of the former camp nor in the ironworks is there any form of commemoration.
