Former rock-salt mine 10 km to the south-east of Wolfenbüttel built for the trial ultimate waste disposal of low and medium active waste. More than 120,000 barrels equal to around 24,000 m³ of low active waste have been stored here. A special storage chamber for medium active waste holds 1,289 barrels of 200 l capacity. The storage licence for radioactive waste expired in 1978.
