Hausham camp was established in July 1942 and closed in April 1945. It was located in Eckart, to the west of the town and was a branch of the German Institute for Nutrition and Food. It consisted of an "experimental farm" located on a hill south of the road from Hausham to Gmund am Tegernsee. The two original farms here were acquired by a tourist organisation called the Friends of Nature Southern Bavaria in 1924. The group built a guest house and named it after a co-founder of the "Roherhaus" association. However, the group was banned by the Nazis and the tenant of the guest house was evicted by the SA. The property was sold to a police sergeant from Munich in 1935. The police sergeant opened a tavern there which he then leased to the SS.

SS Oberscharfuhrer Gestapo Ludwig Westermaier was executed in Czechoslovakia in 1947 on account of this involvement with this camp according to a comment on Axis History Forum.
