Wegberg Military Complex, near Monchengladbach, Germany, has housed an officers’ mess and has been home to a military hospital. It is currently home to Service Children’s Education. Most of the houses are empty as are the majority of office buildings.
The Allied Rapid Reaction Corps will leave the area next year for Innsworth in Gloucestershire, and the neighbouring Rheindahlen Military Complex (aka JHQ) is due to close within the next few years.
What was once a thriving, albeit small, British military base is now almost a ghost town.
