Lüdenscheid in Germany

Hello,

We are Belgian military, who have lived several years in Lüdenscheid (Germany) .
We know of small barracks in Lüdenscheid named Claser (during Belgian occupation) there.
As far as we know it were Barracks of the German, during WWII, with the name "Standortverwaltung und Magazin Wefelshohl". For that we have found a little information.
Directly after the War it was occupied by the British Army, and then soon after them, the Belgians have used it as Depot for medical supply till the seventies.
But that's all we can find about it.
Does someone know more and do there exist pictures of it, because for the rest it is a mystery to us.
And we would like to find out more.

Thanks for your help.

My Germ\an isn't that good these days but try this link

http://lüdenscheider-zeitbilder.de/1935-1936.php

thanks, i know the homepage, but that's almost anything we could find.
I have a German history magazine where it is mentioned too, but that article stops in 1946, with no mentioning what happened after the war.
