1 Wuffotel, indoor facilities
Though the interior has not been directly observed, it seems both human customers and their dogs find them comfortable enough
2 Wuffotel, outdoor kennels
Dogs of all shapes and sizes run around in large outdoor pens, which also contain small roofed shelters
3 Bomb Shelter
The outdoor kennels were built over a sports field which was built over a bomb shelter
4 Barracks Converted to Stable
A multistory reinforced concrete building. It is unclear what interior modifications were necessary.
5 Pony Paddock
Ponies can move freely between the stable and the paddock
6 Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Warfare Shelter
Located underneath the stable, it was securely closed with concrete at the end of the Cold War
7 Terrace With Portal of the Sun
This suggests a hippie influence
8 Pony Gate
A semiological feature connected to the stable and pony paddock. It is sited so that gate functionality cannot be achieved
9 Apple Trees
Trees which produce apples
10 Plastic Toy Graveyard
A number of large, obsolete plastic childrens’ toys have been collected here
11 Tunnel Entrance
The tunnel entrance ramp for vehicles was reportedly filled solidly with concrete after the cold war, and now functions as a space for mechanics
12 Mechanics Party
Several varieties of automobile and motorcycle mechanics appear to have living, working, and entertainment space here, including audio entertainment
13 Abandoned Panzer Terminal
A former loading dock for NATO tanks being transported elsewhere, or possibly for repairing them
14 Pizza Hut
The roof of this building takes semiotic cues from American fast-food restaurants; current function unknown
15 Automobile Drive-in
This zone functions as an outdoor display of status in the form of wheeled vehicles
16 Lion House
Through the addition of a pair of large concrete lions, potted palm trees, a large entry, and red paint, a former house for military officers has been transformed into a simulacrum of a palace
17 Oasis
Dominated by a circular pool
18 House of Gold
Though not as elaborately signified, it forms a pair with the red Lion House
19 Streetlight Storage
A building which displays a fascinating state of advanced decay which has revealed formerly hidden structural aspects . Its primary function now is to protect scavenged streetlamps from the elements
20 Unidentified Ruin
Detected in aerial photographs, its identity has not yet been determined. Excavation is recommended
21 Dogs with Short Tempers
Similar to their counterparts at Integrated Fire Control; the fence separating them from the surrounding environment, however, suggests the possibility of escape
22 Commander’s House
A commander’s house which currently has no commander. Maybe it should be renamed
23 Panzer Turrets
According to a local informant, these small circular ruins were originally surmounted by tank turrets intended to serve a defensive purpose. Now they collect water
24 Semi-destroyed ruined barracks
A notable feature of the site, this multistory reinforced concrete building is either collapsing or being reborn
25 Huge Pile of Rubble
This provides evidence that large barracks buildings can be transformed into large mounds of debris
