On 30 December 1944 three hundred and one women prisoners were recorded here. A men's camp probably existed as well.
The women worked on processing fruit into drinks and in the textile works of Emmerich Machold. The camp lasted until 6–8 May 1945.
The remains are on Vrchlického street in Bruntál, in the western, industrial part of the town, opposite the main station.
There is no commemoration of the Auschwitz subcamp anywhere in Bruntál.
