Concrete buidlings in the forest at Camp Marguerre, world war I site near Verdun. Deep in the dense forest near the village Loison you can find the former 'Lager Marguerre ', a German concrete factory from the 1st world war. The camp, named after Hauptmann Hans Marguerre, was part of the 'Spezialabteilung Beton Fabrik' (BeFa). The existing buildings are still in pretty good condition but largely overgrown by trees and shrubs, this dense forest was an advantage, the camp was well camouflaged for the enemy. Through a system of rails they could bring the necessary materials to the camp, made ​​concrete was used for test structures but also for reinforcements needed for guns and bunkers in the region. Lager Marguerre was also a resting place for soldiers and there was a field hospital, all at about 10 km from the front.
