SS Special Camp Hinzert was a concentration camp operated by Nazi Germany from 1939 to 1945, situated in the Hünsruck uplands near Luxembourg.

A camp at Hinzert was first established in 1938 for workers building the Siegfried Line.^[1] After the original camp almost entirely burnt down, it was rebuilt in 1939 and reopened in October that year as a work education, police detention and SS special camp.^[1]
