Panzerbau III from Krupp. From 1941-1945, parts of the Panzerkampfwagen IV and VI "Tiger" were built here above and below ground in the most modern armaments factory with up to 1518 workers.
Are all heaps the same? This is made from overburden from the Essen subway construction.
The heap is on the corner of Weidkamp and Grasstraße. A plaque here also commemorates the dark history of Essen and the Krupp family.
Parking spaces are available.

Turrets and hulls were manufactured here in Panzerbau 3 Gelände until 1945. After that, the site lay fallow for a long time and was used in the 1970s for the overburden of the Essen underground railway.

Steep climbs do not make the current stockpile bike-friendly. There is nothing left of the old buildings.

A piece of Krupp history.

It is interesting that the "large cellars" were only flooded and apparently never filled !?
