Teufelsberg

This is the former NSA listening post on top of the Teufelsberg in West-Berlin. The Teufelsberg is not a natural hill, it is man-made, from the rubble of Berlin after the second world war. The hill made a good place to build a listening post for monitoring communications in East-Germany. After the Berlin Wall fell the listening post was decommissioned, but the buildings remain.

The exterior of the building is just canvas clothing. Today, without maintenance or repairs, the canvas clothing is dangling in the wind, and just a little wind will make the building sound like a freight train, very impressive. The area around the buildings is sealed with no less than three fences.
