Summary
| Description |
Deutsch: Siedlung britischer Offiziere und ihrer Famillien an der Engelstraße in Bünde, Kreis Herford, Nordrhein-Westfalen. Innerhalb dieser Siedlung war während des Kalten Krieges die sowjetische Militärverbindungsmission (Soviet Military Liaison Mission Germany oder kurz SOXMIS bzw. Soviet Military Mission BAOR oder kurz SMM BAOR) untergebracht. SOXMIS war Ausgangsbasis zahlreicher Spionageaktivitäten der Sowjets im britischen Sektor. Die Offiziere und Soldaten der Roten Armee lebten (Offiziere mit Familien) also inmitten einer umzäunten Siedlung mit hohen britischen Offizieren als Nachbarn. Nach Ende des Kalten Krieges zogen in die Häuser der Militärverbindungsmission wieder britischen Soldaten oder Zivilisten ein. Heute deutet nur noch wenig auf SOXMIS hin: Der Stacheldraht und Sichtschutz am Zaun wurde entfernt; der Zaun selbst ist überwuchert. Der englische Wachposten zur Sicherung der eigenen Siedlung, vor allem aber auch zur Kontrolle der sowjetischen Aktivitäten ist heute unbesetzt.
English: The British Army married officers compound at Engelstraße in Bünde, District of Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. During cold war Red Army's Military Liaison Mission SOXMIS (Soviet Military Liaison Mission Germany, short SOXMIS or Soviet Military Mission BAOR, abbr. SMM BAOR) was based
within the british compound. Hence, British and Sovjet Soldiers lived "next door". SOXMIS was a notorius base for soviet spy activities within the allied sectors. After cold war british soldiers or German civilians moved in. Nearly all military leftovers from the soviet era war removed, a British watch post (shown on the left hand side of the dead end road) to control Russian activities and protect the own officiers remained unmanned. Today, the history of this special Cold War place is fairly unknown.
