Lager Heuberg, Military barracks in Stetten am kalten Markt, Germany
Lager Heuberg is a military barracks complex in Stetten am kalten Markt featuring multiple buildings and training grounds. The site includes various facilities used by the German Armed Forces for training and military operations.
The site was founded in 1910 by the Imperial German Army as a military installation. In 1933 it briefly served as a concentration camp before returning to military use.
The Dreitrittenkapelle chapel on the grounds memorializes political prisoners held here during 1933. The location carries reminders of this dark period through its commemorative spaces.
The grounds cover extensive training areas and are generally not open to the public. Visits require prior authorization from the military administration.
On March 1, 1945, the site witnessed the first manned vertical takeoff rocket flight, which ended in a fatal crash of the Bachem Ba 349 aircraft. This experimental plane was one of the most unusual aviation projects of World War II.
