HomeGermanyDoes someone know this place? My grandfather worked in Germany in the 60s or 70s and I have this old picture. It looks like it could be anywhere and isn’t anything special or so, but still I thought maybe someone here could know where it is. Thank you!

looks like a cement factory and judging by the car it is more likely to have been in west-germany.
Any info written on the back of the photo?
this sounds more like a job for geoguessr guys like rainbolt and less for some german guys (and gals). i cant even tell if this is a saw mill or some other industrial building… might even be a train station. i would honestly recommend asking some geoguessr and he will tell you that this tree only exists in the southern part of a certain village or sth.
Can it be this? It’s a brewery (well not any longer) but the tower was built in the 70s.
Could be a cement factory which was built in Wetzlar but they demolished it for an IKEA store.
At least there’s one picture which looks very similar to the construction site.
The windows on the main building seem to be fake. Camouflaged military installation or masked entrance to a bunker system? We had lots of this stuff and I‘ve visited a few in person.
There are also Schiebedachwagen to be found. I think those were used in aluminium oxide transport from Italia…
That‘s once has been Krupp Stahl in Dillenburg, now outokumpu.

That looks like a construction site for a highway or railway bridge to me, but I may be completely wrong. Take a look at [this photo on another website](https://www.giengener-fotos.de/fotos/bau-der-autobahnbruecke/) to see what I mean.
