St Lambrecht, located in Styria, Austria, was the site of two sub-camps, one for women, the other for men, both located on the premises of St Lambrecht Abbey, which was seized by the Nazis for this purpose after the Austrian Anschluss in 1938. According to the book New Perspectives on Austrians and World War II, edited by Fritz Plasser, the prisoners included 24 Jehovah's Witnesses, who were made to do housework and agricultural tasks. Other prisoners had to do forestry work and also worked on construction of the camp itself. The female prisoners at least seem to have been well treated. They had their own rooms, which were heated, and straw mattresses. The food was a lot better than that at many other camps, but that may have been due, in part, to the opportunity they had to work in the kitchen actually preparing the food.
