yes, the Reich's Eagle is on the pillars of the main gate, or what used to be the main gate. I was always fascinated by it, apart from the obvious symbology of it and the politics attached to that symbology, as it was a perfect example of the somewhat Deco style and the monumentalism so common with that regime (some of it quite good, most of it rather kitschy and overly grandiose).

The BMH site in Iserlohn is now a technical college with most of the original buildings still in use, which I am glad to see as so many of the old sites are demolished or have been allowed to go derelict.

it was a great place to be my first posting in Germany

I will see if  can post my photo of the Eagle with the Swastika still apparent in 1958 when I was there working in the Path Lab ---
