Remains Hangar Südlager Fliegerhorst Venlo

A bricked hangar as can be seen on the Nord- and Südlager.
It was almost identical to the larger Wärmehalle, but without the boilerhouse, chimney and workshop.
Instead of being built in a point, the back wall was straight. Three thick walls with the large entrance opening with Splittermauer in the rear wall. Equipped with large roller doors at the front.
The roof was a gable roof consisting of wooden or steel trusses, covered with (corrugated) plates.

The remains of this hangar are one of the few that are not completely overgrown with brambles.
The floor is also missing in this hangar, which was built in 1941. This indicates that a clinker floor must have been present here as well.
Nice details such as mounting brackets are still visible on a number of wall pieces
