Weingut I was the code name for a project begun in 1944 to build a semi-underground armament bunker for the production of the Messerschmitt Me 262, the first series-built military aircraft with jet engines. After completion, Weingut I was supposed to ensure the production of the aircraft, which was regarded as decisive for the war, together with five other protected production sites. The facility was only partially completed and never used for its intended purpose.The bunker area was included in the Bavarian list of monuments as a memorial to the atrocities of the Nazi era. To commemorate the suffering of the prisoners and the dead buried in the surrounding concentration camp cemeteries, a three-part concentration camp memorial was opened in April 2018 in Mühldorfer Hart.kz-gedenk-mdf.de

At the moment (May 2021) this memorial cannot be visited. The reason is mine clearance work.
However, the area is only cordoned off from one side, from the other direction it is openly accessible, so that we accidentally visited the ruins of the armaments bunker - and explored it relatively carelessly.

Another horrifying proof of Nazi megalomania.
Look, let yourself be impressed and think.
