There was a disused munitions factory there, so there were some buildings that the inmates could repair for use.
The Nazis designed and planned the Dachau concentration camp but it was the prisoners who would of been in them, who actually built it.
First: Dachau Largest: Auschwitz
Buchenwald, though initially it was called Ettersberg (for a couple of weeks or so).
Auschwitz was the largest camp that the Nazis had set up outside of Germany. Dachau was the largest in Germany
Dachau was the first concentration camp, opened in 1933. This was for the enemies of Hitler. However, in 1942, the Nazis began concentration as a substitute for killing the Jewish people with firing squads.
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.
In March 1933. Before the first permanent concentration camp opened as Dachau on 22 March 1933, the Nazis rounded up Communists and some others and put them in temporary concentration camps. They imprisoned people simply on the gounds that they were a 'threat to the government'.
Please see the link below, which should answer the question as far as Auschwitz is concerned. Most of the larger concentration camps, such as Buchenwald and Dachau, also had crematoria, but they were smaller.
It was an 'average-size' concentration camp, and had some pretty horrific killing methods that matched even Auschwitz. Though it was a bit smaller compared to the other concentration camps, it got daily deliveries of enemies of the Nazis, not just Jews. Or Gypsies, disabled, or homosexuals. To some, it was known as the 'elite-reserved' concentration camp.
