The Kindel industrial area is an industrial area in the Thuringian municipality of Hörselberg-Hainich in the Wartburg district . The site emerged from the Künkelhof small settlement and a civilian settlement that was created after the Second World War and was evacuated by 1992 on the edge of the Kindel military training area of the Red Army (with a tank firing range and military airfield).
location
The Kindel industrial area is located in the center of the Hörselberg-Hainich municipality, about 8 km northeast of Eisenach in the part of the former Kindel military training area east of Bundesstraße 84 between the districts of Wenigenlupnitz and Wolfsbehringen. Since January 2010 the BAB 4 has been running immediately south of the industrial area. The nearest junction is about two kilometers away at Großenlupnitz and is also the junction with the B 84 to Eisenach, Behringen and Bad Langensalza . Today's Eisenach-Kindel airfield is located on the eastern edge of the industrial area.
history
The Künkelhof was first mentioned as Cancul in October 1080. Before the beginning of the Second World War , an approximately 300 hectare military training area was built at the Künkelhof. The military area initially served as a testing and shooting range for artillery pieces manufactured in Eisenach . After the war, the Kindel firing range was expanded and handed over to the group of the Soviet armed forces in Germany as a tank firing range. Fixed accommodations (barracks and stone buildings) were built for the regular crew and their family members on the approximately 700 hectare site of the Kindel forest settlement , while the units arriving for training had to live in tents and camouflaged earth pits under conditions at the front. After the military had left and the area had been decontaminated, the Kindel industrial area was developed with the help of the Thuringian State Development Corporation. The site was chosen because of airport operations and is bordered to the west by the nature reserve, now part of the UNESCO World Heritage beech and Ancient Beech Forests of the Carpathians and other regions of Europe counted Hainich National Park . In the mid-1990s, high-voltage lines and two gas lines were laid on the southern slope of the Nesse valley ; they were a prerequisite for the establishment of industry. In 2009, with the relocation of the motorway to the Kindel, the road traffic connection was also optimized.
The industrial area has now reached a size of 120 hectares, in the final stage 620 hectares may be available. Automotive suppliers determine the appearance.
