Radaranlage Marienfelde is a former military monitoring facility located on elevated terrain in the Marienfelde district of Berlin. The site contained multiple observation structures spread across a substantial area designed to support Cold War surveillance operations.
History
The United States Air Force constructed this facility between 1962 and 1965 to conduct surveillance operations during the Cold War era. Military operations ceased after 1989, and the site was deactivated in 1991 as Cold War tensions relaxed.
