About this work
Bullet traces (vandalism; view from inside) in the watchtower in the former arsenal in the Dernekamp hamlet, Kirchspiel, Dülmen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany The Bundeswehr Ammunition Depot, located approximately 4.5 km south of Dülmen, was built between 1963 and 1965 as part of the St. Barbara Barracks in Dülmen. The special ammunition storage (SAS) within the ammunition depot was put into operation by the US Army in 1969. Over time, and particularly in the 1980s, the special ammunition storage in particular was made significantly more secure. The special ammunition storage was abandoned in the early 1990s, as was the ammunition depot in 1996. It passed into private hands. The town of Dülmen acquired the site in 2017 and it has been open to visitors on guided tours since 2019.
