Deutsche Bahn, Harz. Former railway station located north of the Kohnstein near Nordhausen. In a tunnel system in the Kohnstein the V1 and V2 were build during the Second World War. The underground factory was connected to the normal gauge railway lines north and south of the Kohnstein. Photo by Stephan Rolf Schilling July 30 - August 2 2003 contact: sschill@web.de

Kohnstein near Nordhausen, Harz. Not rail related? I don't think so - This shows the former south entrance of Tunnel A of the Mittelwerk factory in the Kohnstein. Two railway lines went through the whole of the mountain for supply of the underground factory where V1 and V2 were build in 1944/45! See strs_hsb_0073 for remains of these lines.
