Truppenübungsplatz Putlos

Truppenübungsplatz Putlos is a military training area in Ostholstein along the Baltic Sea coast, featuring extensive grounds for military exercises. The facility provides various training spaces for different types of military operations.

The facility became the main training base for Schleswig-Holstein following military restructuring and has served various armed forces branches since then. Over the decades, it evolved into a key site for soldier preparation.

The facility maintains connections with the nearby community and opens designated walking paths to visitors during certain periods. This arrangement shows how military operations and local life coexist in the region.

Access is restricted to authorized personnel, and warning signals mark restricted zones during training operations. Visitors should check in advance when certain areas are open to the public.

The facility extends into a large maritime zone in the Baltic Sea, enabling combined land and naval exercises. This amphibious capability makes it one of the few places in Germany where such integrated training is possible.
