    The Bundeswehr's underground facility in Neckarzimmern is a huge, complex warehouse with approximately 170,000 square meters of space and over 40 kilometers of roads and railways – originally a gypsum mine dating back to the 18th century. Today, over 190,000 items are stored there, but what exactly is in the crates remains secret.

      The whole mountain is hollowed out here ... The underground facility of the Bundeswehr in Neckarzimmern has an area of around 170,000 square meters. Around 193,000 different Bundeswehr articles are stored in this area. What is in the boxes is left to your own imagination. The Bundeswehr does not provide any more detailed information. The more than 40 kilometers of streets and paths of the UTA are so branched that it is impossible to find your way down here without a guide who knows the place or the proverbial thread of Ariadne. Calcite was originally mined here in the early 18th century.

        The gypsum tunnel in Neckarzimmern in the Neckar-Odenwald district is a widely ramified tunnel system in which around 170,000 m⊃2; area and more than 40 km of road and rail routes are used by the Bundeswehr. The mine, which was originally used for gypsum mining and dates back to the 18th century, played an important role in the war economy of both world wars. Some of the access roads are located directly on the B 27. (Source arwjunker.de)
