Hoess' successor was SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer Arthur Liebehenschel (DPOB: November 25, 1901, Poznan), who served as commandant of the Auschwitz complex between November 1943 and mid-1944. SS-Sturmbannfuehrer Richard Baer (September 9, 1911, Floss) replaced Liebehenschel in 1944 and was commandant at the time of the evacuation in January 1945.
