Ammunition Storagebuilding nr 1

The vast majority of the ammunition stock of Fliegerhorst Venlo was located in the Südlager. Here the ammunition was stored in ammunition pits, small bunkers or small (3 x 3 mtr) buildings. The latter were so-called Munitionshäuser. The somewhat more vulnerable and moisture-sensitive light trail and armored fire ammunition for the on-board weapons of the night fighters were stored here.
Remains of those small buildings can still be found at six locations. They are the southernmost current remnants of Fliegerhorst Venlo.

At this location, only a few flat pieces of wall are visible under a huge forest of brambles.
