Radarstation Goßberg

Radarstation Goßberg is a military facility built into Gossberg hill, featuring a reinforced concrete structure with multiple interior levels designed for Cold War surveillance. The installation includes a main entrance accessed from the north side and technical spaces arranged vertically within the hillside.

The United States Air Force built this facility in 1956 during the Cold War as part of NATO's air defense network. Operations ceased in 1986, marking the end of its surveillance role.

The surrounding area contains Celtic burial gardens with rectangular ditches, indicating ancient settlement patterns in the Hunsrück region.

The facility sits at an elevation of about 490 meters and can be observed mainly from the exterior today. The surrounding hillside provides walking and exploration opportunities for visitors interested in Cold War military sites.

The bunker required excavation of 30 meters into Gossberg hill, increasing the summit height by 8 meters through construction materials.
