Camp leadership was divided into 5 departments. These departments were the Commandant’s Office, the Political Department, the Protective Custody Camp, Administration, and the Camp Doctor. The Commandants of the camp was SS Colonel Gunther Tamaschke, SS Capatain Max Koegel, and Captain Fritz Suhren. The camp staff included only female guards, and they were assigned to watch over the prisoners. These women were not a part of the SS but they were members of the "Female Civilian Employees of the SS" (USHMM).
