History of the Morsleben repository
The Morsleben repository is an over 100-year-old potash and rock salt mine. In World War II the mine served as concentration sub-camp and as underground armament production facility, later on chicken production and storage facility for toxic waste. Between 1971 and 1998, low-level and intermediate-level radioactive wastes were emplaced.
An exhibition on the history of the repository at the Morsleben information centre brings light into the darkness of the past. It provides the public with access to the mine's complex utilisation history. The further development of the exhibition is an open process which the public can and is to take part in.
