From December 1944, the Kaufering IV camp was reclassified as a hospital camp. Concentration camp prisoners, who were no longer capable of work, were transferred by the SS from other camps of the Landsberg/Kaufering subcamp complex to Kaufering IV.

Due to the absence of medical assistance and the appalling living conditions, many of the prisoners died. The SS had the dead buried in the Hurlach Heath. Today, both the Kaufering North and Kaufering South concentration camp cemeteries are to be found there.

In April 1945, Camp IV was evacuated because of the approaching American forces. The SS camp doctor, Dr. Max Blancke, then set fire to the subcamp. In and around the camp, the American soldiers found a total of 360 dead.
