Luftschiffhalle Düren, Military airship hangar in Düren, Germany.
The steel construction hangar measured 180 meters in length, 70 meters in width, and 30 meters in height, painted in camouflage colors.
The German military used this facility from 1915 to 1917 as a base for launching airship missions to France and Great Britain during World War I.
The airship station operated under two different code names: 'Siegfried' for the Imperial Navy and 'Dietrich' for the Imperial Army administration.
The facility connected to the Düren district railway, enabling the transportation of filling gas, fuel, oil, ammunition, and bombs for military operations.
The site remains the only historical airship hangar location in the Rhineland that has not been built over or altered by modern development.
