Verden an der Aller
From 1945 until 1993 the 1st Armoured Division of the British Army of the Rhine was stationed in Verden. One of the former British barracks is now used to house the "Kreisverwaltung" (district administration) and a new sporting stadium has been erected opposite. The second barracks has been demolished to make way for a new residential estate.
