Historic Air Traffic Control Prostkogel
This is an air alert station from World War II.
When World War II broke out, an air alert station was installed at Prostkogel at an elevation of 1245 m above sea level.
The wide view of the airspace was used for observation. In the event of enemy aircraft movements, a report had to be immediately sent to the central office in Innsbruck. The earlier a specific report was made, the faster the population could be alerted, allowing them to reach the air raid shelters in time. The men stationed up there likely saved many lives in our region.
