The Bundeswehr's ordnance disposal center was set up on July 1, 2005 in Stetten on the cold market . The Army’s ordnance disposal companies 11 and 21, as well as parts of the ordnance disposal companies of the logistics battalions 162, 172 and 462, were used for this purpose.The latter were subordinated to the center under the name of ordnance disposal companies 12, 13 and 14 and moved from their previous locations to Putlos , Klietz and Baumholder until 2008 Relocated to Stetten am kalten Markt. On January 23, 2007, the center was officially put into service once operational readiness was established. The Bundeswehr Center for Ordnance Disposal was initially subject to the Armed Forces Support Command .

In the course of the realignment of the Bundeswehr and the reclassification to the HEER2011 , the center was placed under the command of the Pioneer School and Technical College of the Army for Construction Technology in mid-2012 and thus switched from the armed forces base to the Army. On July 1, 2015, the center was reclassified and reorganized as a combat weapon training base.
