World War II V-2 facility
After an August 1944 [1] explosion at the Redl-Zipf V-2 liquid oxygen plant at Schlier stopped production, the third V-2 liquid oxygen plant (5000 tons/month)[2] was built at a slate quarry at Lehesten at the Thuringia-Bavarian border[3] near Nordhausen (acceptance testing of combustion chamber was also performed at the Lehesten plant).[2] Dr Martin Schilling (the head of testing at Peenemünde)[4] located the Lehesten site,[2] and 400 engineers were moved from Peenemünde to Lehesten, which eventually had 16 liquid oxygen production plants.[5]
