Remains hangar Südlager Fliegerhorst Venlo

Remains of one of the 20 or so remnants of masonry hangars that can be found today as we see them at the Südlager of Fliergerhorst Venlo.

In principle, the brick hangar was almost identical to the large Wärmehalle. But without the attached boiler house, chimney and workshop / storage.
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.
In September 1944, the Sprengkommando destroyed or disabled almost all infrastructure of the airfield.

This location is characterized by the fact that the ramp to the hangar as well as the hangar surface are still clearly visible.
There are remains of wall about half a meter high.
