Built as German factory for refurbishing aircraft engines cooperating with several similar capacities in the area. Liberated without fight and briefly taken over by Russians, they just put everything demontable on wagons and took it Eastwards.
After few months newly created Czechoslovak Army started this installation as depot. First guys (10 or 12) who came here were from just inactivated 1st Czechoslovak Armoured Brigade, I knew one of them.

Do not try to reach in, because you won't get behind the gate's bar.
Although there are still two buildings and bunker from German era left... Get my WMAJH7, there is great view on depot.
Era: WW II
