    These ruins belong to the former German weapons and ammunition factories, which maintained a huge factory here.
    At one time up to 10,000 people worked in WW2 in the factory.


    Decades ago, the entire forest was once closed off by police monks, as chemical weapons were suspected here. A witness had come forward who wanted to have buried the burial of such weapons in barrels here.
    After the forest was closed, the barrels were actually found here. However, they contained only less dangerous chemicals.


    Incidentally, the entire area was so well camouflaged that it was only discovered at the end of the war by ground troops.
