Nike-Feuerstellung Oedingen, Cold War military installation in Lennestadt, Germany.
The Nike-Feuerstellung Oedingen spans 16.08 hectares and contains three rocket halls with launch pads and service team bunkers for missile operations.
The facility operated from 1962 to 1987 as part of NATO's nuclear sharing agreement, storing Nike Ajax missiles later replaced by Nike Hercules missiles.
The installation represents a significant period of German-American military cooperation, with 25 US soldiers stationed alongside German personnel to manage nuclear warheads.
Former military buildings now serve as training grounds for police forces, while the previous barracks area has been converted into an industrial zone.
The site contained special high-security bunkers designed to store nuclear warheads with surface-to-air and ground-to-ground capabilities reaching 180 kilometers.
