Viewing platform at the Urft dam. The viewing platform on the Urft dam wall was the site of the barrier keeper's homestead built between 1924 and 1926 until it was destroyed in the Second World War. From here you have a wonderful view of Lake Urft, the former Ordensburg Vogelsang and the Urft dam wall.

Dauerausstellung „Bestimmung Herrenmensch“ - NS-Dokumentation Vogelsang

The former NS-Ordensburg Vogelsang in today's Eifel National Park is one of the largest buildings of National Socialism and was a place of human contempt at that time. Today Vogelsang “Internationaler Platz” is a place that stands for tolerance, diversity and peaceful coexistence. But it is also a place of remembrance culture. The permanent exhibition “Purpose: Master Man. NS-Ordensburgen between fascination and crime ”gives an insight into the life at the NS-Ordensburg at that time.

No sooner have people left the horrors of the two world wars behind them than the next war is already looming - the Cold War.  These are the years of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall and nuclear armament.  The great powers USA and the Soviet Union threaten each other with ever more powerful nuclear weapons.  At any time the cold war can turn into a hot one.
