Between 1963 and 1976, Böttingen was the location of a launch system for military missiles . The facility, which comprised several locations in the Böttingen and Dürbheim districts, was built between 1962 and 1963 for the French troops. After France withdrew from NATO , French troops cleared the facilities in December 1966. In 1969, the Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) position, also known as the X-Area , was obtained from US units and expanded into the Pershing I position. On February 22, 1970, there was a near disaster. During improper maintenance work on the nuclear warhead of a Pershing missile that was in QRA status, it fell to the ground. The launch area was cleared and the position was hermetically sealed. The feared detonation did not take place. The accident was initially given the status of 'Broken Arrow', but was later downgraded to the 'Bent Spear' category.
