A Soviet star with cycle and hammer - once the symbol of the Soviet Union - hangs on the wall of the so-called "red barracks" in Frankfurt Oder, 12 July 2003. No investors have been found for the location. When the Soviet Union withdrew forces from East Germany, they left behind barracks, military bases and training grounds and swathes of land that were once restricted areas. In Brandenburg, there are more than 40,000 hectares of land, 15,000 of which has been contaminated with munition or is forest.
