@Marc,

DWM's Karlsruhe branch was specialized in the production of ammunition and ammunition and packaging production machines. During the imperial years they produced large calibre shells with the 'Patronenfabrik Karlsruhe' headstamp, as well as small arms ammunition.

A large part of their production facility is still standing today, but it is in use as a museum and cultural centre.

Enough history to see around Karlsruhe as well: RWS/GeCo/Dynamit Nobel had their small arms ammunition production plant near Durlach. All that remains of that plant is the 'Schrott-turm' a tower once used to cast lead pellets for shotshells.
