Germany, abandoned WüST in the forest of Söllichau near Bad Düben, north of Leipzig This Wagenübergabestelle (WüST) was used for exchanging of goods waggons between Deutsche Reichsbahn and the military area of Kossa. During the Second World War in the Kossa area large explosive works were build hidden in the forest. During the time of the GDR this area was divided into two parts and housed: - an engineer battalion - a top secret bunker system for commanders of the GDR army in case of war Photo by Stephan R.

Germany, abandoned WüST in the forest of Söllichau near Bad Düben, north of Leipzig This Wagenübergabestelle (WüST) was used for exchanging of goods waggons between Deutsche Reichsbahn and the military area of Kossa. During the Second World War in the Kossa area large explosive works were build hidden in the forest. This rail is marked with the year "1930" by the steel works, but most rails are fastened at concrete sleepers marked "62" (meaning 1962). Obviously the tracks were rebuild after the year 1962.
