As the name suggests, the area where the Bergisch and American soldiers were stationed was guarded. A poet from Düsseldorf lives there at the moment.

The former NATO site in Hombroich is part of a culture, science and nature project.

In 1993, as a result of the disarmament agreement between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, the missile station was shut down. During its useful life, the area was of course guarded by this tower, among other things.

Belgian soldiers were once stationed at the Hombroich rocket station near Neuss so that they could contribute their part to the end of the world in case of doubt.

The lookout tower of the rocket station allows visitors to interpret its history in various ways through its appearance. According to the website, a Düsseldorf poet has lived in this tower since the 1990s.
