These are remnants of the test site for the rocket motors of Unit 4 (also Retaliation Weapon 2, V2 for short) from the time of the Second World War. Several such ruins can be found in the woods around the Weiherberg landfill. To the west of the pond was the oxygen works, the test equipment for the rocket motors was on today's landfill site. When the French blew up the facility after the war, they used so much explosives that window panes in Raderach shattered and a large chunk of concrete was thrown onto the hill west of the landfill
