What is this German aircraft?

Thank you very much Roger!

It seems it doesn't look like the buildings in Oberammergau (now at the NATO School). I will compare as I will follow a course there in May.

Best regards

Well, need to do a matching!

Yes, it´s Oberammergau. With the Kofel peak in the background, i.e. photographed towards south - the Alps are rather close there. "Oberbayerische Forschungsanstalt" (codename for Mtt development at Conrad-von-Hötzendorf-Kaserne) - now NATO School Oberammergau still today is a terraced area.

Hello,

It may look like the entrance to the mess(erschmitt ), where there is a pavement. Photo taking is prohibited inside the NATO School but I will ask a special pass bis.

I remember a rather known pic of one 262 on its tail, is this same aircraft? The famous picture of the P.1101 was taken in front of the baracks.
Unfortunately the Laber is now closed but I will have a look with my M/D for the quest of a lost nut there...

By the way, I will come back there for a P-51 too, that's another story.

Notice the rings from a 55gal drum probably used to prop it back up

The fuselage of Me 262A-1a WNr 170072 was found together with P.1101 at Oberammergau. The terraced area can be noticed here:

According to the reports I have linked, Oberammergau in 1943-45 was overcrowded with Messerschmitt personnel and forced labour workers so the barracks certainly haven´t been sufficient. Additional buildings may have been erected when an airfield was built (n.b. with an airstrip long enough for the Me 262!)

I am wondering where they had built that specific airstrip. The lowlands there are quite swampy and the higher grounds are sloping.

This Me 262 most likely is standing in front of building #627 of this plan:

The building with porch and chimneys is #621
