From a distance, the Thurauer Turm looks like a huge nasal spray bottle, is a former military property and served from 1967 to investigate the enemy in the east. When he made himself “invisible” in 1989 and there was nothing more to clarify from the West, in 1994, following a tender, he was sold to a company that also produced for the armaments industry. Unfortunately no museum or observation tower with a restaurant or the like, as many have wished, but “military technology made in Wendland” with a lot of headwind from the population. In 2018, the company extensively restored the tower and was given a "camouflage paint" with green colored rings, similar to the modern power mills. The Thurauer Tower is unsuitable as a symbol, as a landmark of the Cold War.
