The following is a list of subcamps of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp established by Nazi Germany. The main camp, with around 50 barracks for slave-labour prisoners, was located 35 kilometres (22 mi) from Berlin, and operated between 1938 and April 22, 1945. During World War II the prisoners included Germans, Poles, Soviet POWs, Roma, and later Jews. It is estimated that the number of victims of Sachsenhausen was 30,000–35,000. Dozens of subcamps of Sachsenhausen existed directly in the capital city, serving individual business operators and factories.
