    Tips

    Remember when you move around here... this is not a local recreation area... you are on partly heavily contaminated land... I can hardly imagine that the entire forest was renewed in the course of the renovation

      The place exudes a dark history.

      When you consider the conditions under which people had to work here and what consequences it had.

      The place was strategically selected and built. In a short planning period and with great commitment from many companies (read the story carefully), a piece of the puzzle that was important to the war effort was created here. A memorial that 80 years later still says "never again war"!
