At the time of the Cold War, nuclear warheads were even found on the site. After the end of the Cold War around 1990, the Americans moved away and after the Bundeswehr also left Molzau in 2007, the Bundeswehr site and ammunition depot began to be dismantled in the forest area. Only the watchtower of the former team building and three remaining bunkers are reminiscent of the former ammunition depot.
