In 1870 the Prussian army bought a parcel of land near to juterbog to construct a military camp This site was called ‘Lager 1’, but with the building of a second camp the name Altes Lager’ (old site) was given

Post Franco-Prussian War some 9000 french prisoners of war were used as forced labor to expand the camp.

By 1934, Jüterbog’s military areas comprised the biggest troop-training center in Germany. And the expansion continued.

Inhabitants of neighboring villages had to leave as the total military site was extended to more than 27,000 acres.

During the Cold War, the military places were taken by the Soviet army. In 1946 the town became an official village, situated in the middle of a huge military site of the Soviet army.

During 1994 the buildings were abandoned when the Soviets left Germany following the reunification.

Now there is not much left,buildings have been demolished to make way for bigfuckoff windmills.

A nice quiet stroll through what is left. Think this must have been the security hut.

Back inside next to the pool a cinema type building, this seemed to be a recreational area for the troops of the USSR

What a superb report. When you see Juterbog in the title you expect the more predictable, usual stuff. This is completely different...in a good way! I didn't realise most of it is now gone.

Cheers,, Mr J.
What was left that I saw was worth the effort, I had seen stuff from 2008, and it was still in its glory so a bit disappointed that I had got here years too late.
