Here, where the signs "Spülfeld" stand, the camp's feces were dumped until the Rieselfelder were completed. Where the new building stands, there was a pumping station from 1906 that pumped the wastewater from the military camp to the Rieselfelder.

It's quite interesting to see the entire area when W:O:A isn't taking place there. You won't see any of this during the event because practically everything is populated.
