Parts of the area of the later Zeven Army Ammunition Plant previously belonged to farmers from Wistedt. In Hofkoh there was a grass racetrack, which opened on August 29, 1937 with over 20,000 spectators. The last of a total of 16 races were held at the end of the 1940s. In 1952 there was another racing event on the grass racetrack called “Zevena”, which attracted around 15,000 visitors to Hofkoh.
