The Surrounding Area
This chache is a little bit related to
Nuremberg Underground, because it features again public transportation: the
tram. And the tram route 7 is the oldest underground in Nuremberg,
because it drives below the surface between the stations
Tristanstraße and Bayernstraße.
You can see the reason for this, if you leave the tram at the
station Tristanstraße and walk on in the same direction or
if you drive along the Frankenstraße. You will see the main
building of the former SS barracks. Because of this
building the Frankenstraße was moved north and the tram went
underground. Now the Federal Administration for Asylum and
Migration uses the left and middle part of the building and the
customs the right
part. You can find
further information on the building online (German only. I
asked them about an English translation. They're working on it, but
it's not ready yet.) and on a info sign at N 49°25.861' E
11°05.873'.
Until the real subway was build the tram didn't end here, but
drove on to Langwasser. You can still see the rails, until
they end at a gate. Two big tubes are using this tunnel now.
If you walk along the still used rails you will see two concrete
blocks on both sides of the track. I don't know their former use. I
suspect them to be a foundation for a wellcome-arc during the
Reichsparteitage.
The Cache
The container is a small box. Easy to find, but perhaps
difficult to get at. (Tram frequency!)
