Munitionslager Aurich, Military munitions depot in Dietrichsfeld, Aurich, Germany.
The Munitionslager Aurich extends across 400 hectares of land in Meerhusener Forest, containing 174 bunkers with 30,000 square meters of storage space.
Construction of the facility began in 1936 as an external depot for the Marine Artillery Office in Wilhelmshaven, later becoming an independent military installation.
The site includes a memorial cemetery established in 1947, marking the resting place of 236 Soviet soldiers who died during World War II.
The facility maintains 36 specialized storage buildings for ammunition processing and operates a modern road system for efficient transportation within the complex.
An 80-kilometer narrow-gauge railway system once connected all bunkers, utilizing twelve locomotives and 180 wagons for ammunition transport.
