War Chest of Germany Hidden in Spandau Tower
The $30,000,000 indemnity treasure from 1871 rests in the Julius Tower at Spandau outside Berlin. Guarded by six and a half foot walls, the gold is in ten and twenty mark coins, stored in 1,200 boxes with keys held by the Spandau garrison commander. Reichstag members argued to use it for current needs, but it was voted to keep the fund to ensure liquidity in war and financial crises.
