Most were named for the town or vicinity they were nearest to. A few, e.g. "9th Fort" was named for a structure, or for example a Killing Center of the T4 Euthanasia program such as Hartheim was named for a castle which had been turned into a mental institution. Flossenberg, Mathausen, Belzec, Auschwitz, were examples of those named after their nearby locations, although Auschwitz, was given the German 'Auschwitz' instead of the local town,
Oświęcim.
