This subcamp served the Messerschmitt aircraft factory which stood on the site of the present Dechentreiter factory. The inmates were mostly brought to the site from the sub-camp at Augsburg Pfersee and were put to work producing components for Messerschmitt ME262 jet fighters. They were housed in a multi-story brick building constructed adjacent to the factory's production line. The upper two floors contained the inmates bunkrooms with the bottom floor containing kitchens. It was entirely surrounded by a barbed wire fence and around 50 SS guards were billeted in another building close by, which may have previously housed a unit of Wermacht soldiers.

The camp commander was Oberscharfuhrer Rossbach. Allegedly, no deaths occurred among the prisoners from mistreatment or punishment but an allied air bombing raid occurred on 19th March 1944, killing a number of local people, three SS guards and around 70 inmates with many more wounded. Some of them were taken to a hospital about five kilometers away at Donauworth, but the majority of the injured were taken to the infirmary at Augsburg-Pfersee. The dead were initially buried in the cemetery at Baumenheim, where a stone commemorates those killed in the air raid, including inmates. After the raid, around 300 inmates were employed dismantling the production line.
