It is very quiet and peaceful in the Lieberos Heath. But the area hasn't always been as peaceful and tranquil as it is today. The largest military exercise took place here in 1970, when the Warsaw Pact states held their first large-scale joint exercise, "Brotherhood in Arms." The exercise was observed from Generalshügel (General's Hill). (Leonid Brezhnev, Walter Ulbricht, Erich Honecker, and Raul Castro) Over 50,000 soldiers are said to have been deployed in Lieberose alone. The area is heavily contaminated with munitions. Germany's largest desert is increasingly becoming a steppe landscape. The grandstand on Generalshügel has been rebuilt in accordance with historic preservation regulations and is now the centerpiece of the Succession Park.
