Special Weapons Depot Himmelpfort, Nuclear weapons storage facility in Fürstenberg/Havel, Germany
The Special Weapons Depot consists of two storage bunkers measuring 40 meters long and 25 meters wide within a 112-hectare forested area.
Between 1967 and 1968, the Soviet Armed Forces established this fortified depot to store nuclear warheads for potential distribution to East German forces.
The facility represents the military cooperation between the Soviet Union and East Germany during the Cold War period in the Warsaw Pact.
The decommissioned site now belongs to the Oberhavel district, with sealed bunkers and restricted public access to ensure safety measures.
Each storage chamber within the bunkers could accommodate 20 nuclear warheads, secured on the floor using specialized isothermal containers.
