Bromberg Dynamit Nobel AG Factory

Bromberg Dynamit Nobel AG Factory also known as Bromberg DAG AG Factory or DAG Fabrik Bromberg was one of the largest arms factory of Dynamit Nobel during the Third Reich: covering 23 square kilometres (8.9 sq mi), it was the second most extensive DAG factory at the time, after the 35 square kilometres (14 sq mi) Kombinat DAG Alfred Nobel Christianstadt. Operating from 1939 to 1945 in the south-eastern Bydgoszcz forest, DAG Fabrik Bromberg produced propellants and explosives and realized ammunition handloading. The project included the construction of hundreds of kilometers of roads, railway sidings and thousands of various buildings. After 1945, some of the facilities have been adapted for state chemical enterprises. In 2004, an Industrial and Technological Park was created, covering part of the area, and in 2011, eight building have been converted (approx. 1% of the original factory domain) to comprise the Exploseum, a Museum of Armaments Works from the DAG Fabrik Bromberg together with an open-air museum about German industrial architecture from World War II with an underground tourist route.
