“In the middle of the forest near Iggelbach, a 45 meter high tower rises above the treetops on a hill. The Palatinate Forest radar station is one of 30 radar systems with which the German Air Traffic Control [DFS] monitors the 390,000 square kilometers of airspace over Germany."

Once a year we had a fire brigade exercise earlier than de Edde was here. At that time there was still a huge radar screen on top.
