DAG Alfred Nobel Explosives Factory Ruins
Highlight • Historical Site
Construction probably began in 1939. The building was called "Ruuester", which means "elm" in Polish. Its construction was top secret. The factory continued to develop over the years. Among other things, huge silos, casinos, railway tracks, combined heat and power plants, shelters, production halls, sewage treatment plants and many other facilities were built. The whole area was about 35 km2. The water was taken from the Bóbr river with own extraction and cleaned on the way.
The buildings were quite far apart. It was dictated for security reasons. For example, if one of the factories was bombed, the others could continue production.
Semi-finished products that were later used to manufacture certain explosives, such as explosives, were manufactured here. E.g.: nitrocellulose, nitroguanidine, methylamine nitrate and hexogen. At this point you have to realize that this was a death factory.
After the war, the site was taken over by the Soviet Army, which began dismantling machinery and equipment. In 1948 the facility was handed over to the Polish army. The buildings were still being stolen.
Some of these areas were occupied by the Krzystkowice Correctional Facility. The Polish army camps are located in the part of the former factory. However, the area currently available is so large that one can spend the whole day touring it. There are still many buildings to explore such as B. a combined heat and power plant with railway ramps for transporting coal, various concrete buildings, ruins of production halls, huge silos covered with a meter-high layer of earth on which trees are already grown, as well as a sewage treatment plant or a casino.
Visiting the former factory is at your own risk. Every now and then you will find warning signs on the buildings. A bike path runs through part of the factory.
