References to the Kempten sub-camp are not easy to find. The German Synagogues website mentions that remaining Kempton Jews were kept in a building called the 'Judenhaus' ("the Jews house") from 1942, but also that there was a concentration camp nearby. A list of Dachau sub-camps on the Jewish Virtual Libary refers to a 'Kempten-Kotern' sub-camp, but this was almost certainly the larger Kottern-Weidach camp in the southern Weidach district of Kempten.

 

In the Karl Adami trial of 11th to 14th October 1946, one of the defendants, Anton Schermaul, was listed as an SS camp guard at Dachau (Kempten) from September 1944 to April 1945. The Frank Bezak trial of 4th November 1946 included Stefan Schaffler who is listed as a tower guard at Kempten and who was also a guard on a prisoner march from Kempten to Fussen on the 27th April 1945 for which he received 2 years imprisonment. Robert Gerhardt is mentioned in the Wilhelm Buhler trial of 30th October 1946 as a tower guard at the camp. The 'Review and Recommendations' of the United States v Alois Muehlbauer et al trial of 14th November 1947 names Wilhelm Stoltz as commandant of Kempten subcamp from December 1944 to April 1945, where he aided, abetted, encouraged and participated in the subjection of inmates to killings, beatings, torture, starvation, abuse and general indignity. The document states that Stoltz implemented a punishment system and knew about mistreatment of prisoners. It also mentions there were 300 prisoners evacuated from the camp on a forced march in April 1945 escorted by 60 guards. A former German civilian employee at the camp testified that the prisoners were emaciated and starved and that they performed 10 hours of heavy work per day. The food was of poor quality and badly prepared. Another witness said that the standard of food under Stoltz became worse and that Stoltz punishment system included confinement in a 'punishment bunker' which had no lighting or sanitary facilities where the prisoners had to stand in water. According to another witness, Stoltz also hindered the distribution of Red Cross parcels.

​

Alois Muehlbauer was a convicted criminal who served as a capo and obercapo at Kempten in 1944 and 1945. According to a witness who worked in the camp armaments works, Muehlbauer beat the prisoners like a madman.

According to Molly Brodak in her book Bandit: A Daughter's Memoir, there was also a farm at Kempten that provided food for the captives.
