Maybach
Maybach I was built between 1937-9 and consists of 12 buildings. They were used by Army Command Staff (OKH) during WW2. The buildings were built to give the appearance of 12 houses and appeared to have windows with window boxes which hid the bunkers and tunnels below. There was camouflage netting covering the pathways between the buildings. They were built out of reinforced concrete, 2 feet thick and could easily withstand an air raid. The buildings stood 15m in height, 16m wide & 34m in length, with 3 floors above ground and 2 floors below ground. Maybach II had a similar construction but only had eleven buildings and was completed in 1940.
The complex was taken intact by the Soviets on the 20th April 1945. In accordance with an agreement made by the Allies at Potsdam Maybach I & II were blown up during 1946/7. The buildings of Maybach I still exist. Maybach II did not fair so well being broken up and used as building materials and no longer exists.
The complex was named after the Maybach Internal Combusion Engine.
