    The former underground military facility (UTA) Lorch-Wispertal of the German Bundeswehr is located near Lorch in the Wispertal and was used as a (main) equipment depot. The construction of this facility took twelve years (1962-1974). The system can be hermetically sealed from the outside world. In total, around 290,000 m³ of stone had to be broken out of the mountain to create the tunnel system. The construction of the system cost about DM 78 million up until 1974. The main equipment depot in Lorch-Wispertal has been officially closed since December 31, 2008.
