Here, 24 decommissioned tanks are located in the WTD 91 target area. This isn't a tank graveyard; it's a target area. The tanks are equipped with measuring devices, etc., and target practice takes place regularly. The area is then cordoned off. Entering the (fenced-in) target area is prohibited. Any violation will be prosecuted. Fines in the three-figure range await you.

The so-called "Tank Graveyard" is a military security area and is a tank target area of the WTD91. It's better to just look at it from the outside and not climb over the fence. Unauthorized entry will be very expensive.

...through the old town of Wahn, whose residents had to leave their village due to military exercises....Commemorative plaques stand for the corresponding buildings...

Here on the test site, old tanks serve as training targets for the German armed forces.

The tour around the whole village of Wahn is also recommended. It can also be done easily by bike. You can see numerous widely scattered farmsteads that fell victim to the relocation. In the back area, just outside the tour, there is a tank graveyard. Entry is prohibited and the barriers are not set up and locked for nothing. It is a military testing ground.

The half-day trip of the Garreler Heimatverein now led to the abandoned settlement of Wahn in Emsland. The former municipality of Wahn is located about halfway between Sögel and Lathen. Until April 1, 1941, it was a municipality in the then district of Aschendorf-Hümmling. The settlement was cleared by the Nazis in order to expand the Krupp shooting range in Meppen. All buildings were demolished and the residents relocated to neighboring municipalities. Under the expert guidance of Ulrike Wübbelmann, this former town, which had about 1,000 inhabitants at the beginning of the 20th century, was explored. At the time, there were several bakeries, a smithy, a windmill, four restaurants and a construction company in this town. A church choir, brass band and its own shooting festival rounded off the cultural life. The center of the village was the Antonius Church, which was only expanded at the beginning of the 20th century, was then called the "Hümmlinger Cathedral" and had space for almost 800 people.

Nicely described. You can imagine what the village used to be like

Lots of tanks, but unfortunately a fence was put up
