    Old arched hall. Here you can take beautiful photos. The concrete looks pretty brittle though.

      Special old Nazi hangar that was once even featured in Nazi Mega Structures on the Discovery Channel. The biggest miracle is probably that it is still standing at all. The concrete looks terribly brittle ... so don't walk around too long, but stop for a moment to look.

        The last semi-preserved arched hall of the 42 arched halls that once stood on the Venlo Air Base. Only the construction of this hall (reinforced concrete) prevented the usual blasting method from leading to the collapse of the structure. Because of the relatively expensive construction, there was only one test sample in Venlo. Because this hall shows very clearly how we have to imagine a round arch hall spatially, the support association "Former Fliegerhorst Venlo e.V." took the initiative shortly after its foundation to uncover this object as the first architectural monument of vegetation and present it to the public.
