Due to increased American-British air raids in the 2nd Worldwar on German armaments factories (HASAG in Leipzig) a transfer of the Panzerfaustproduktion should take place. As a result, prisoners were sent to build a camp near Leipzig in order to be able to continue the weapons assembly unhindered.
The forced labor camp Flößberg was an external camp of the Buchenwald concentration camp. In Flößberg the bazookas were filled with explosives which were manufactured in the HASAG plant (Hugo-Schneider-AG) today Permoser road in Leipzig.
The camp existed in the period from 30.11.1944 to 13.4.1945.
About 10 prisoner barracks were built, plus production barracks and storage bunkers.
In 1904 forced laborers were interned in the camp, 9% of the prisoners died.

There is only one memorial stone left, otherwise everything was rebuilt after the war.
