Bodenwöhr Waldwerk - Mtt Bf 109 K-4 assembly lines 1944 - 1945

[Fliegerhorst]

Today it was a "great" day for me, since as "Wertheimer" I am a newbee
in this topic.

Let me explain.
Today I visited the owner of the photoshop. He is around 80+ .
And I asked him all the questions.
There are in deed only this two pictures available at present, since someone somewhen was able to make a copy. all the others would be taken to the USA by the US. I will research.

So, now the interesting aspects:
Kaffelstein tunnel was never used for storage, but Wertheim Schlossberg tunnel and the "Tauber Bahn" tunnel in Waldenhausen, ca. 3km from Wertheim. Wings and aircraft bodies were so thin that they did not
disturb trains using the tunnels. The kids played with aircraft parts these days after the war. Obviously aircraft parts were simply stored there.
He does not know about assemly in the woods. BUT, and now we are lucky, I know where Flumann was located. It was in Kreuzwertheim, Bavaria, the other side of the river. Nowadays there is a "Stuhlfabrik"
which is named Hofmann. I will research in our Bavarian neighbourhood.
We should not forget the wood aspect, Spessart is known for oak,
best quality of wood except "Buche". We know about replacement of
metal parts by wood as substitute.
There was never a railroad to Reinhardshof, impossible.
But Wertheim and Kreuzwertheim, two railway stations.
I will research whether Flumann was the beginning of the furniture company after WW2 or not. The photographer told me that the old buildings do not exist any more.
There shall also have been an "electronics" repair shop of Flumann
in these buildings. At the moment I only know about wing, body, electronics repair and body and wings storage.

I will get a copy of a bill, dated in November 44, where Flumann has to pay for pictures of 60 French POWs or workers, since they received
ID papers.
