No sooner have people left the horrors of the two world wars behind them than the next war is already looming - the Cold War.  These are the years of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall and nuclear armament.  The great powers USA and the Soviet Union threaten each other with ever more powerful nuclear weapons.  At any time the cold war can turn into a hot one.

The bronze model of the city of Bitburg can be found at Spittel Square in the pedestrian area. It was donated by Dr.-Hanns-Simon-Stiftung and shows the layout of the modern city centre. Especially blind people get an accurate impression of their surroundings. Place names in Braille add further detail to the model.
