history

At the Wilder Berg there was a shooting range that had been used since 1834 for the two barracks in Mauer . After the First World War , the shooting range was initially abandoned and in 1920 the area was leased to the children's friends , who built a permanent rest home there that no longer exists. During the Second World War , another firing range was built for the air news troop barracks , the concrete ruins of which were removed around the year 2000. The Rasthaus Schießstätte am Wilden Berg is reminiscent of the shooting range .
