Very nice and well-made documentation site, there are usually flyers there as well. Belongs to the exhibition site in Hersbruck.

The Dogger tunnel (also called Doggerwerk) is a tunnel system in the Houbirg mountain range. The tunnels of the Doggerwerk were dug in the years 1944 to 1945 by prisoners of the concentration camp Hersbruck in forced labor. In the planned underground production facility, war-critical BMW aircraft engines were to be manufactured. The construction management and the SS command staff were in Happurg. The completed total length is 3.9 kilometers, of which 2.6 kilometers still exist today. The code name was "Esche 1". It has been planned for some time to make parts accessible to the public.

Well-made memorial not far from the entrance to the tunnels

Interesting plaque on the history of the Happurg tunnel (concentration camp branch Flössenburg). A queasy feeling remains. Be sure to hear the voices of the slightly hidden speaker below the drill.
