The cloister building was just offices. Mauser himself lived on the top floor on the corner that ws damaged.

The cloister was rebuilt and renovated over the years.

Many parts were collected and left on a train for the center of Germany in April, 1945. There is good documentation of this attempt to move production in the book about Ott-Helmuth von Lossnitzer.
