EVOLUTION OF TEUFELSBERG FIELD STATION BERLIN

Circa 1970/1971: Contstruction of building #1458

Circa 1975: archive view of Teufelsberg Field Station Berlin. There are now 4 radomes operating on the hill. Note the inter-connecting passageway between the radomes on building #1458. It was in 1975 that the zig-zag row of windows were built on top of the warehouse to create a mess hall (lower left of photograph)

From top:

Building #1458 (the main operations building with the tower and the "ball" radomes).

Building #1475 (US computing and analysts)

Building #1425 (aka Arctic Tower or Search Tower)

Building #1455 (British)

"The map seems to have been made after the intelligence community departed. Due to construction work (recently abandoned) aimed at building expensive apartments in the area, some buildings no longer exist. Primarily the buildings #1457, #1456 and #1466 (right side of the map) were demolished."
