The publication is available in German and French. This history of the Elsenborn camp is not only the history of an important military installation. It also reflects to a great extent the past of an entire border region over the past 100 years ... Prussians, Belgians, Germans, Allies and again the Belgians are the acting powers. In a seamless chronology, the authors show how the site at the foot of the Hautes Fagnes developed into a geostrategic and at the same time economic hub. The account ranges from the first soundings for the localisation of the military training area to the present day. It is a period in which the population had to change its nationality several times and thus also its "military client" ... These aspects and the effects on the socio-economic and landscape development are given a comprehensive appreciation here.
