Pydna (missile base)

Pydna is a former American missile base in Kastellaun, Germany named Wueschheim Air Station. Nuclear-equipped MGM-1 Matador, MGM-13 Mace, MIM-14 Nike Hercules and BGM-109G Ground Launched Cruise Missiles were stationed here. Since 1995, the site has hosted the Nature One open-air electronic music festival. Festival facilities now use the same bunkers that were once home to 64 Ground-Launched Cruise Missiles (GLCM) (BGM-109), Tactical Nuclear Missiles, under the operational control of the 38th Tactical Missile Wing of the United States Air Force.
