    The Kellinghusen special ammunition storage (SAS) was a depot for tactical nuclear weapons of the armed forces of the United States. The beautiful forest area is now freely accessible and only serves as a local recreation area, the former storage areas are also open and served as a beautiful graffiti base. Interesting to look at and a nice stopover when there is a shower.

    Looking back today, it's simply unbelievable that US nuclear weapons were once stored here, in the middle of Germany, in Schleswig-Holstein.

    The site and the bunkers are currently freely accessible and can be visited.

    Very impressive, but also very depressing – even if you're there in broad daylight
    and sunshine.


    As part of nuclear sharing, American nuclear battlefield weapons were to be deployed by German delivery systems. Artillery shells for 203mm and 155mm howitzers (W-33 and W-79, respectively W-48) were stored there.
