I thought the circles were some kind of ammunition depot, or even an anti-aircraft site, maybe because of the near Frankenstein-Kaserne (cool name, btw). @Cory: There is also a track to the barracks. The track which goes south through leads to a bigger one. Danke, Bernd.

That thing's great! (Ok, maybe that's just the train-head in me coming out...)

If you look a few km to the west, you'll find these strange circles in the wood: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=49.785905,8.629782&spn=0.006910,0.013474&t=k&hl=en Does anyone know what they are for? I guess they belong to the facility north of them, which seems to be some kind of barracks. No comment to the castle, but…
