2011 Meeting in Oberndorf (Kü-Club)

Yes, we have.

The meeting was relatively short due to some cancellations, though.
No new Kü insights, but some interesting finds in other areas, including finding the location of 3 large diesel aggregates in the basement of one of the Mauser buildings (the aggregates are gone, but the support structure is still there).

We also investigated the location of the former "Türkenbau", a building in Turkish style that was built originally to house the Turkish acceptance committee for the large Turkish rifle contract. The building was torn down in the 1960s and replaced by a school and a building that, interestingly and quite fitting in a way, now houses the local Mosque.

I am impressed, you all are so much more than gun collectors. You are versatile historians.
