    The Nike station is a US SAM air defense missile site with surface-to-air missiles of the type Nike Hercules with a range of up to 150 km (and up to 30 km altitude). , whose starting base covers around 15 hectares and is located on an area in the Hagenschiesswald that is still clearly visible today, although it has been dismantled.

    The "Nike air defense station" existed from 1961 to 1984. Some of the missiles were equipped with "atomic" warheads!
    The aim was to bring down one or more bomber planes with a nuclear explosion. Fortunately, these things were never used!
    Today a quiet place with a beautiful view;-), from the Wurmberg district, to Wurmberg!
