Lengenfeld

Lengenfeld is a town in the Vogtlandkreis district, in the Free State of Saxony in eastern Germany.

During World War II, Germany operated a forced labour subcamp of the Nazi prison in the town in Zwickau,[3] and a subcamp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp.

[4] About 1,000 prisoners, half of whom were deported from German-occupied Poland, a quarter from the Soviet Union, and larger groups among the remainder comprising French, Italian, Czech, and Hungarian Jews, were imprisoned as forced labour in the latter.

[5] 246 prisoners died in the subcamp, and were mostly cremated in nearby Reichenbach im Vogtland, and the remaining were evacuated in a death march, during which many also died.
