- What tourists of Berchtesgaden usually don't get to see.
A rare view of the U-Boot diesel engine and the emergency generator at the Eagle's Nest in action.
Kurdirektion staff member and chief engineer Herbert Eglauer and his team demonstrate a periodic test run of the antique submarine engine.
The smaller machine with a belt is the air compressor, which keeps the airtanks under steady pressure. Air pressure is needed to start the huge diesel engine. This is a view of the procedure get the emergency power system working. The sturdy construction still works perfectly after many decades.
The diesel motor was built by MAN (Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg)
The generator was built by Siemens Schukert.
Which belongs to an unseen section of the Kehlsteinhaus. The facility is located on the Kehlstein mountain in Berchtesgaden. The underground installation is closed to the general public. It is located by the bus parking lot where the tunnel leads to the elevator. An emergency generator was installed, in case the municipal power line was to fail. The municipal power line was installed underground for better protection and less impact on the landscape. Such independent power plants are common for bunkers and military installations.
To learn more about the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest):
• Kehlsteinhaus of Adolf...
The Kehlsteinhaus was commissioned by Martin Bormann, with construction proceeding over a 13-month period. It was completed in the summer of 1938, prior to its formal presentation to Hitler on his 50th birthday on April 20, 1939. It is situated on a ridge at the top of the Kehlstein mountain 1,834 m reached by a 6.5 km long and 4 m wide road that cost 30 million RMs (Reichsmark) to build (about 150 million euros in 2007, adjusted in line with inflation). It includes five tunnels but only one hairpin turn and climbs 800 m.
Today the building is owned by a charitable trust, and serves as a restaurant. The restaurant features an indoor dining area and an outdoor beer garden. It is a popular tourist attraction, particularly for Britons, Canadians and Americans attracted by the historical significance of the "Eagle's Nest". The house can be reached on foot (two hours of walking) or by bus from Obersalzberg, the road having been closed to normal traffic since 1952.
Sometimes referred to as "Teahouse" or "Teehaus". In fact the correct term was "D-Haus", short for "Diplomatischer Empfangshaus".
It was built as an extension of the Obersalzberg complex erected by the Nazis in the mountains above Berchtesgaden. The Kehlsteinhaus was intended as a 50th birthday present for Adolf Hitler to serve as a retreat for Hitler and place for him to entertain visiting dignitaries

@@dennislischer8248 so ist es , keiner hat verstanden , warum die keine Diesel eingebaut haben. Allein schon wegen der niedrigeren Explosionsgefahr
60 years later; the MAN U-boot diesel generator at Hitler's retreat works perfectly.
German Engineering at its finest!
+atiboyful but how are its emissions? LOL
Who cares about emissions when you are running a generator during black-out electrical conditions?
+atiboyful it was a crack at German engineering that I guess you missed.
+jimdotdev Depends who's checking ;)
@jimdotdev--Sorry, I don't pick up on cracks that much. I don't have much humor after all!
Was in Berchtesgaten in September. The quality of the construction that survives from that time around that area is outstanding. Built to last by real craftsman.
The fit and finish of the stones and metalwork is exceptional. We've had to put up with 75 years of bleating from the 'victims' but today is the world any better off? I used to think so but I'm not sure today.
However the reich was always destined to fail - if they'd allied with Russia would would be living in a different world, but they were never going to beat them in war, however good their technology was.
@@G-ra-ha-m They did ally with Russia, you fool (never heard of the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact?). And of course, neither of them intended to honor their commitments - East Germany went through 40 years of brutal dictatorship, and unlike Russian-tied East Germany, West Germany didn't need to become a huge open-air prison to keep the population from escaping to the West, which people always wanted regardless of what their state propaganda told them about "Western degeneracy".
Also, the world is definitely better off today, as we at least can get rid of our governments when they do ridiculous nonsense like start pointless wars, unlike the Russians, who currently get to gloriously die as cannon fodder to slightly enlarge the world's biggest country.
Besides that, not even the Germans denied the victimization of the people/countries they murdered/occupied.
@@AAWT You call me a fool, and expect me to read further? Haha, very funny!
like built by the pharaones!
Was für ein geiles "Maschinchen", das läuft auch in 100 Jahren noch
Ja Toll ! Und man kann es in der neuen Diktatur gleich weiter verwenden ( SARKASMUS AUS ) .
No wonder it took the whole world 6 years to defeat just a lonely country. These Germans are something. Beautiful machinery
agree with u
+Alfons Llana not tomention germany is pretty tiny. comp[ares to usa or canada russia
Check out the German Stealth bomber on UA-cam if you want to be blown away by German engineering
Lonely? Ever heard of Axis?
Axis was three Countries. Italy proved to be useless and failed multiple times in N. Africa with its Army and Navy and it took Rommel and the Africa Korps to bail Mussolini out in N. Africa. Japan was so far away that it was an Axis treaty in paper only! It took not only all of Europe but also the USA to defeat Nazi Germany! That is the measure of Germany's power, science & engineering capability
"Das Boot" by the one and only Wolfgang Petersen... this engine reminds me definitely (in my opinion the greatest U- Boat movie of all times). Fantastic engine. Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Awesome! Nowadays we want to build more complex machines that constantly break down,this was tough meant to last yet simple.
That is so true 👍👍👍
The finest engineering creation ever. A traditional diesel engine run generator. It has everything.
I can't fathom the amount of engineering that went into this. Incredible!
Very cool video. I love these old engines, and it's cool to see something rare like this. Glad it's still maintained and runs so well.
@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002 It's started by injecting compressed air directly into each cylinder to push the motor over, once it's started firing the air is turned off. The mechanical governor appears to be the horizontal mounted unit with the small hand wheel on it, left side of engine at flywheel end. It has a linkage connecting to the fuel rack which passes by and controls each high pressure injection pump. It's a beautiful sounding piece of German engineering, to think it's around 70 years old!
The MAN diesel U-boot engine! A thing of beauty
Tolle Maschine! Und ganz ohne CAD und CNC gebaut worden :-)
Einfach nur grossartig. Dem sage ich Qualität! Robust und unverwüstlich....
God bless you Bro. I am at the point in my life if I can't fix it in my drive way I don't want it. I am now the proud owner of a 1987 Chevy C-10. If the trottle body injection take a shit it's getting a four barrel quadrajet or holly spreadbore. Those old IH were tough as granite, a friend has a mid 60's pickup with well over a million miles on it-still drives it every day.
any cylinder has its own mercury themometer on the top of the cylinder head!
GREAT fantastic German Quality!
yes, so it is, Hermann!
@Charlie K well its from the 1940s :-)
Well, it won't have been MANs "budget" model
My father spent a year helping to install these engines in U-boats at Blom und Voss during WW2. Interesting to see this.
Hi lockbar, have you got some pictures of the U-boat factory your father could have taken ? Thank you !
Interesting. My Grandfather spent a few years sinking those boats. Strange world.
@@1keykneedeep At least they both had work and didn't hang around the street.
Lockbar thank you for your father's service
Respect to your father. My father built Pratt and Whitney single and compound 9 cylinder aircraft engines. R.I.P. pops.
Come on guys! You don't recognize the music? It's from the movie Das Boot. Therefore very fitting to this video.
NICE CATCH !!So few pay ANY attention to sounds around them. I caught it right off....haunting song. It is similar to 1,000,000 users of Linux Mint 17.1 that are clueless about the signon tones.

I could watch this engine all day long....
Dear ober...i'm profoundly impressed by the sound of that engine, it runs like it was built a day ago.As far as the german engineering is concerned.. A TRUE SYMBOL OF EXCELLENCE .Thanks a lot for posting this MAN DIESEL.
The Generator is also a horrific bastard . Respect to the modern day operators that keep this beast running. My Daihatsu won't start and I can't figure it out. Cheers
Yeah you're damn right. These days you have to be an electronic technician just to service some of the cars around. My brother in law has a late model Passat. It goes like stink but servicing it costs him a packet and he can't do any of it himself. He has to take it to a specialist and 'plug it in' to get it checked out! I am slowly reviving an old U.S. made IH Scout and it's a jem. Solid as a rock and simple to fix. You could drive it through a brick wall no problem. Reliable too.Love old cars.
This thing runs so smooth, you will not find another natural aspirated Diesel of this size running so silent!
Nothing special: this is a slow running diesel: all of them run smootly , a bit like a steam engine...
Haffenchapple - EMD's are just as quite.
Hafshlappe, you have no proof of what you just said. Pure conjecture and based on no knowledge to support your comment.
MAN still manufacture terrific engines. German engineering is fantastic. I owned a MAN truck here in Australia. Was the best truck i ever owned and the cheapest over life. A lot of time for MAN engineering.
Old German engineering at its finest
Old? MAN is huge in modern day!
Peter Kapica shut up
yes this is superb German quality, not made in China junk :-)
@@Schlipperschlopper The MAN doble acting diesel was not known for uncomplicated service, I am afraid.
@@floro7687 Well compared to french diesel engines and some british they were easy to maintain...HQ machines always need more attention compared to very basic ones....Russians copied many aspects of the MAN and Mercedes Diesel systems later during the 1950s...their earyl diesels based on british and US patents that were pretty complicated (but reliable too)
After all those years of service that generator runs like the first day in service, wow, outstanding engineering, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico, Jesús Torres.
I stayed at the Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden a few times when I was stationed in Germany. There used to be a resort for US Armed Forces there. Had I only known about this magnificent beast back then, I surely would've found a way to visit it.
Unkaputtbar diese Maschine 👍
Der richtige Titel sollte wohl "MAN Generator on Kehlstein House running" lauten. Der Hitler hat damit wohl wenig zu tun gehabt.
I think he personally designed it after failing to enter art school.
There are three different buildings mentioned here: 1) the amazing Eagle's Nest (Kehlsteinhaus) built as a vanity project by Bormann for Hitler's 50th birthday. THe generator is for this. The only access is along a mountain road and then this lift. 2) The Berghof, Hitler's big house in the Obersalzberg, a few miles above Berchtesgaden but below the access to 1). 3) The Tea House, a sort of gazebo to which Hitler would walk from the Berghof with a group of people.
Indeed, Hitler only spent a few nights at Kehlsteinhaus but this generator powered Kehlsteinhaus. I am sure Hitler had another generator to power the Bergdof but if it even existed it was bombed into oblivion by US planes just like the Bergdof was bombed...
Something very satisfying about watching engine valves... completely different everything but I Love watching them on Detroit Diesel 2 strokes. I know it’s completely different but the same thing
MAN, Siemens...immer Deutsches Qualitat !! Many thanks for sharing, visited eagle nest but access of these room was closed, just saw a postcard souvenir for this submarine motor wich is located in the cellar/ basement ( door is outside from the rear ot the house ) of the eagle nest...T.hanks for sharing : )
It can be started...in 80 easy steps !
Classic german stuff
Not really worried about the rights or wrongs of WW2, just lovely to see a piece of great German engineering saved and in action. Whatever any of our failing they are magic at building lovely things just look at the Silver Arrows racing cars without the politics1
Nobody talks about rights or wrongs when talking about a Lancaster bomber, and they slaughtered hundreds of thousands of women and children

I had a 65 foot wood tugboat built in 1912 and repowered in 1942 with an engine nearly identical. It was an enterprise and was direct reversing meaning you had to stop it and restart to get reverse.
Our 1930 USA yacht's two Hill Diesels were same.
Good old school solid engineering. No designed obsolescence here.
The obsolescence came with the design of other machines.
@@heyyo162. Ok, would you mind elaborating?
@@huntsbychainsaw5986 sure: obsolete simply means outdated. with "other" machines I meant "later" and more modern.
@@heyyo162. I understand the definition of obsolescence. I was asking what you meant by your statement.
My original statement for this comment thread is referring to the practice of planned obsolescence where in a manufacturer will designe a product with a specific life span in mind after which the product will be rendered obsolete and will require replacing.
My conjecture here is that technology of the era displayed in this video particularly in the case of survival shelter utilities were designed without this principle in mind but were instead designed to operate indefinitely only requiring repair and maintenance not total replacement.
@@huntsbychainsaw5986 Yes I am familiar with both the concept of obsolescence and planned obsolescence. Of course no survival shelters, no matter what era, are planned to grow obsolete.

Took a look on UA-cam at the Chevy. What an awesome beast! My Scout is a 1978 Traveltop and it's a work in progress. I used to drive it every day but I haven't for years and now I miss it...badly. I'm no mechanic but I've got all the time in the world cos I'm never gonna sell it even though I've had dozens of offer to buy it from me. I'll just take my time and try and do a good job on it. No plastic on this one! Made in the USA! And when I drive it EVERYONE gets out of the way! Way to go Bro!
The generator made by "M.A.N." Diesel Augsburg / Nuremberg company and "Siemens Schuckert" Works Munich, together with "AEG" Berlin and "Hans Still" Hamburg the very best generators brand ever!
+Oldwives Creek Caterpillar never made U Boat engine powered electrical
generators in WW2 :-) In every respect this machine is a miracle in quality crafts
manship and engineering.
+Oldwives Creek German Technology was and still is just the very very very best, believe me, the Hitler engineers did knew whats the very very best. This machine runs so extremely silent and smooth, never ever any caterpillar can match this stunning vintage german master craftsmanship. This machine is more than 70 years old and unrestored!
+Oldwives Creek These dont spray oil around these have roller lifters so no need for pressure oiling the rockers, any Rocker has a seal ring closed needle bearing with separate oil reservoir :-)
+Oldwives Creek This one has compressed air starting :-) No need for acid lead batteries :-)
Honda makes good generators aswell 😁
I seriously thought there was an engine running at the start that had a nasty cam and was quickly disappointed
Matt Larson it’s a generator dude.
He probably had a small suit cased sized one for carry on
The 1940 MAN diesel engine still works !!! " So Schön " and almost like a tight cnc machine tolerances recently built 2018 Swedish Scania truck engine - LOL!!!
Ein traum mit dem Ventile einstellen, 10min ist man durch xD
Great respect for the German people. Great engineers and machinist. If the Germans make it, you are guaranteed that it will work!
Most of their panzers were notorious for breakdowns...🙄
So if i followed this correctly.... Step one: Charge the air pressure tank. Step 2: Manually turn over the engine at the flywheel to build compression (heat). Step 3: Power on the diesel pumps. Step 4: Open the fuel to the rails. Step 5: Use the built up air pressure as an engine starter.... Damn thats a complex procedure. Imagine that on a U Boat now, in limited space. Food for thought....
Step 2 is barring the engine over to get optimum piston position for the air injection starting. The expanding air pushes the piston down quickly building inertia in the flywheel and thus enabling enough speed for the engine to fire and run
M.A.N - nice stuff! i wish i could be there to see it running!
Great video , a marvel of engineering. This is the first time I have see this type diesel run a generator. Phil
the engineering of the germans ww2 is among the best
and the engineering of the germans 2012 is still among the best.
I would argue this.
Of course this video of a cool and historic piece of engineering turned into a debate about WWII like almost all other videos here. Only on UA-cam!
Looks like there are grease cups on the ends of the push rods that would lube the camshaft. But that young man should have had his oil can in hand squirting down those guides. On another note, I wonder if that Siemens generator was made by the Siemens that is in business today?
Yes the same Siemens.
Sebastian Gems Thanks, Friend!
Sam King Regular motoroil reservoirs is my guess, top up as needed.
Yes it's the same good old german company Siemens! 😊
Na wer sagt denn das Marmelade keine Kraft gibt.😀😀
Einfach geniale Technik aus einer vergangenen Zeit.
Wir waren im Juni auch oben im Kehlsteinhaus. Ich fand es etwas enttäuschend, da man gerade solche Sachen nicht gesehen hat.
"the lift" - to the Eagle's Nest as shown in this video.
Now that's what I call German engineering. Built to last and ultrareliable. Before they fitted these engines into U-boats they'd run them flat out for 24 hours to test them and very few (if any) ever failed. The ideal behind this sort of engineering is why the German economy is strengthening today. Integrity, quality, durability, reliability, power, everything good that you can trust. A hell of a lot better than the cheap and nasty Asian products we see around. The original and the best.
This Engine has not very much to do with Htler: It was a standard engine for U-Boots, small merchant vessels after WWII and emergency generator set. Yes, the were very robust and run long time. Later they been modified with turbo charger and higher revoution, capsuled and so on: Downsizing ... But for an engieneer the sound of this engines is like a symphonie!
German subs used usually Germaniawerft diesels.
That is a great piece of machinery. A joy to see & would live to be there.
@bear01ism There are engines in the USA that were put on oil-wells in 1906 and have been in almost 24/7/365 operation except for maintenance and are STILL operating (The ORIGINAL engine) as I sit and type this today. Even if you subtract 5-years for maintenance and repair that's nearly (rounded off) 885,000 total operating hours. If it were a car engine, and over it's life it maintained an average speed of 40MPH it would have logged 35,400,000 miles.
I'd bet it'll last another 100-years...

Thank you for sharing beautiful engine. Air start pretty cool.

Good ol' german engineering eh - built to last - obviously :-)
I like Japanese engines. They run forever, too.
If You ever come to Copenhagen, you may experience the once largest dieselengine in the world, built by Burmeister & Wain Shipyard and still being started for the public once a week in its former home in the harbour - Electricity Plant. Do go see it! And today it is also owned by MAN, which bought one of its largest competitors, Danish B&W years ago.

Magnificent German engineering
I must totally agree with you my friend, there's no doubt about it. They have made so many things in the past that are still today a symbol of quality. Take the VW beetle for instance. Practical, reliable, easy to fix, and there are models that are 50 years old still on the roads today. You can't beat that. That legacy lives on today, you can look at anything thats German made and you can see the pride and care that went into it. No cheap rubbish from them.
German engineering 💪 quality over quantity 💪
AWESOME...I had a very rare IH Travelmaster...imagine a 4-door HUMVEE without the top. 396 V-8, 4x4...LOL...it was bullet-proof. Spicer...Dana...it was a dream come true...vintage 1976....
What a lovely smooth running piece of machinery. So it's still used? The switchgear cabinet looks modern.
Just for show.
I just wish they had a Junkers Jumo engine to drive the compressor like they did in U Boats.

İst Musik für meinen Ohren.
The Slip Ring Commutators are very dirty. I used to service a similar size generator, and we used what looked like a short piece of glass-fibre fishing rod, to burnish the rings to a shine, whilst the machine was running. We could tell which part of the ring to polish, by the sparks produced from the brushes.
Absolutely wonderful. German engineering at it's best.
This generating set is big and powerful like a generating set in Generator vans in trains( Elektroheizwagen in Tegernsee Bahn, und andere ), in luggage cars in certains trains for climatisation.
-Tegernsee Bahn generator make 1000 V AC 50 Hz 1 phase for DB passengers for climatisation( RIC Rules ), and for Restaurant Cars( Speisewagen )
-During 70's to 90's, SNCF used generator van on famous trains( MISTRAL, CAPITOLE, ETENDARD), with 660 V 3 phase Generating set( Star Coupling on alternator)
What is 3 phase coupling for SIEMENS alternator ?
Y coupling or Delta coupling ?
After all these years,it still runs like a Top.
That's the beauty of diesel engines. They can sit forever without locking up.
8 cyl MAN diesel sound is fantastic!
Beautiful! even sounds German!
