Red zone (ordnance clearance)
Red zones are areas that are suspected of being ammunition or areas where there is a high probability of ammunition being suspected of being explosive.
Areas suspected of being ammunition often exist on / in / around former or still in use
- Military training areas (especially those with a sharp shot)
- Battlefields (especially the battle of Berlin), boiler battles (including halves )
- Production plants for explosives or grenades , bombs etc.
- Transport and storage systems for ditto.
They arise from incompletely or not at all implemented explosives or weapons . That could be for example
- Fired grenade or dropped bomb duds
- unused ammunition (leftovers)
- through makeshift detonation in the course of a withdrawal or
- explosives incompletely destroyed after a conquest.
In the suspected ammunition areas there are
- Areas that have been cleared and released for entry.
- Cleared paths through uncleared areas where only the paths for use are free.
- Red zones with such a high ammunition load that an absolute ban on entry was issued. Any unprotected movement here is life-threatening.
In Germany, neither the areas suspected of being ammunition nor the red zones therein are complete, nor even approximately comparable known or mapped. However, it can be assumed that there are problematic areas in almost every federal state.
