    The former Mitteldeutsche Motorenwerke near Breitenfeld have already grown considerably. There is not much left to discover, but if you like it, you should use the cold season (because of the vegetation).

    "The Mitteldeutsche Motorenwerke GmbH (MMW, also MiMo) was a company based in Leipzig (from 1939 Taucha) that existed from 1935 to 1948 and belonged to the Auto Union group. The MiMo manufactured Junkers aircraft engines under license and were that third-largest Auto Union plant after Horch in Zwickau and the Siegmar plant (formerly Wanderer) near Chemnitz.

    The factories were located north-west of Taucha in a forest area that partly belonged to Leipzig-Portitz. The production program essentially included the Junkers Jumo 205, Jumo 211, Jumo 213 types and parts for the Jumo 004 jet turbine. At that time, 10,000 people (including forced labourers) were employed. After the end of the war in 1947, the factory facilities were partially dismantled as an armaments factory, and the remains were blown up. The company was deleted from the commercial register of the district court of Leipzig on August 27, 1948. "

      The description is correct. There was also an engine factory site north of the A14.

        The picture of the forest here north of the A14 is wrongly assigned. Said Mimo is further east towards Taucha.
