Crater was created by the explosion of a munitions warehouse in 1949. Prüm was heavily destroyed by the explosion.

There is a lot of information on the information boards there. Amazing what you can learn outside of history lessons in schools.

The blast crater visible to this day is one of the largest man-made. A memorial cross on Calvary commemorates the victims of the catastrophe. de.wikipedia.org
