The camp was intended mainly for political opponents of the Nazi regime, especially Communists, Social Democrats and trade union leaders.
Hitler designed Dachau concentration camp but it was the people who was going to be in it who built it.
The Nazis designed and planned the Dachau concentration camp but it was the prisoners who would of been in them, who actually built it.
No, Stutthof was the first concentration camp built outside Germany. (The first camp was Dachau).
Buchenwald (and Dachau, and Belzek) were created in 1933.
Buchenwald, though initially it was called Ettersberg (for a couple of weeks or so).
Dachau Concentration Camp-was Germany's first concentration camp, started in 1933 because the prisons were overflowing with people the government didn't like. They didn't have enough money to just build more prisons the way we do in our War on Drugs, so the Nazis built work camps like Dachau. Dachau is distinctive because it was here that SS personnel (Eichmann, Hess) trained for work in newer camps such as Auschwitz.
Dachau was the first permanent concentration camp. There was another one that was the first place they put prisoners but it WA not an official concentration camp, more like a collecting place until Dachau was built.
It is known that Germans built over 2000 camps and sub-camps in occupied Europe. Auschwitz is the most famous but which is second best known varies. Bergen-Belsen or Majdanek is likely the second best known.
It was established in March 1933, mainly for Communists and Social Democrats. (If the question relates to the site and the buildings before they became a concentration camp, the answer is that they were a disused armaments factory).
When I visited Dachau (30 minutes outside Munich), the tour guide said it was the first official concentration camp. It opened as a work camp in around 1933, and slowly converted into a more severe concentration camp. They did eventually build a small gas chamber there.
I think the first concentration camp was established in Germany, if was used first to hold Germans who disobeyed the Nazi laws, or who said the wrong thing, so it was first used to retrain the Germans, that was before WW2, then they got a new purpose afterwards, as killing chambers.
The latins originally built the city, but the Etruscans took over and built the first city walls and sewer.
