Standortübungsplatz Koblenz-Schmidtenhöhe, Military training ground in Koblenz, Germany.
The training area spans 776 hectares on an elevated terrain of the Westerwald, extending between Koblenz and Fachbach near the Rhine valley.
The site was expropriated in 1937 for military exercises, later used by French forces until 1956 when it was transferred to the newly formed Bundeswehr.
The training ground represents the military heritage of Koblenz, which has maintained a strong connection with armed forces throughout its modern history.
Public access to the training area is restricted to periods between Friday 1 PM and Monday 6 AM, with strict regulations against unauthorized vehicles.
The area includes a radar system GESTRA for space surveillance and serves simultaneously as a protected habitat for rare species under Natura 2000.
