Zollernalb-Kaserne, Military facility in Meßstetten, Germany
The Zollernalb-Kaserne spreads across 56 hectares of land and contains multiple military buildings, training grounds, and administrative structures within its compound.
The military base opened in 1963 and operated as an essential NATO Control and Reporting Centre under the code name 'Sweet Apple' during the Cold War period.
The facility transformed from a military installation to serve as a reception center for asylum seekers between 2014 and 2017, reflecting Germany's changing social needs.
The former military compound is undergoing conversion into an industrial park, with the first businesses expected to establish operations starting in 2025.
The facility includes Bunker Martin, a reinforced command post that maintained continuous operations until 2013, coordinating air defense activities across the region.
