 The SS later fired the SS woman on duty in the brothel for corruption; her position was taken over by “brothel mothers” as ordered by SS chief Heinrich Himmler.The majority of women prisoners, however, arrived in 1944 and 1945 from other camps, mainly Auschwitz, Ravensbrück, and Bergen Belsen.Only one barracks was set aside for them; this was overseen by the female block leader ("Blockführerin") Franziska Hoengesberg, who came from Essen when it was evacuated.
