DSC Forst „Wald”

Site map

Orientation: Forst, Scheuno, railway, plant and Oilberg zones.

Orientation diagram of the DSC Forst complex
Orientation diagram of the DSC Forst complex showing spatial relationships between the principal plant zones and infrastructure. It is not a geodetic map and does not reconstruct parcel boundaries to survey accuracy.

Context

The map is designed for orientation between Forst, the Lusatian Neisse, Scheuno, the railway and the Wald plant to the east. It is intentionally schematic rather than a geodetic plan of individual buildings.

Key findings

The page separates securely documented facts from reconstruction. Comparative data from other DSC plants is used only when explicitly labelled as analogy.

How to read the evidence

Direct Forst records take priority. Report 133 is direct evidence for corporate structure, while its detailed technical inventory concerns Kraiburg.

Open questions

Further archival finds may refine dates, quantities and machine identifications. Uncertain points remain visibly marked.

Sources and state of research

The presentation distinguishes direct evidence, reconstruction and analogy. Old GEOS scans are not used as decorative illustrations.
