Kalibrierzentrum der Bundeswehr, Military calibration center in Mechernich, Germany
The Bundeswehr Calibration Center is located at Bleiberg-Kaserne and specializes in checking and adjusting measurement instruments for military purposes. The facility has modern laboratories and technical capacity to test numerous types of measuring devices for accuracy.
The facility originally began in 1968 as Luftwaffenwerft 26 in Wunstorf before moving to Mechernich two years later. It received its current designation as a calibration center later in its operational history.
The facility represents German engineering excellence through its commitment to precision measurements and standardization in military equipment maintenance.
The center is located on a military base and is not open to the general public. Visitors should inquire in advance about access requirements if an official tour or inspection is possible.
The center operated a specialized laboratory in the United States until 2018 and today maintains branch locations across different regions of Germany. This decentralized structure allows faster services for military units throughout the country.
