"The prisoners in the Welzheim concentration camp were not systematically exterminated like in other concentration camps, but at least 65 death sentences were carried out for crimes such as espionage, theft, attempted escape and racial defilement by hanging and shooting. There were also prisoners in Welzheim from other camps or directly from the Gestapo headquarters in Stuttgart transferred and then executed. The executions took place in the so-called executioner's quarry."
