Doggerwerk in Happurg
Doggerwerk in Happurg, Architectural heritage monument and mining tunnel in Happurg, Germany.
The Doggerwerk tunnel network consists of eight interconnected passages extending through Houbirg mountain, with heights of five meters and widths reaching seven meters.
Construction of the underground facility began in May 1944 as a concealed BMW aircraft engine factory, employing 400 German miners who supervised forced laborers.
The tunnels represent a memorial to the laborers who marched five kilometers daily from their camp in Hersbruck to work under severe conditions.
The main entrance features a secured vault door, and visitors cannot enter the facility due to safety regulations and preservation requirements.
Only twenty percent of the planned 120,000 square meter underground complex was excavated before American forces arrived, with no actual production taking place.
