In 1965 the facility was blown up by the German Bundeswehr for training purposes.
What is left is a meadow landscape with bushes and low trees. The ruins of the fort lie around in the landscape.

Hiking
The Fort Ill and the intermediate plant Ill b were among the large complexes that once surrounded Cologne in a ring. The floor plan of the fort, which was destroyed in 1965 (280m wide and 220m deep), can still be seen from the surrounding forest cover. The intermediate work, which was converted into a forest school in 1924, has been largely preserved.
