The facility was initially intended as a naval communications school and was only given the name "Koralle" later. Due to the ever-increasing danger from aerial bombs, it was decided to move the command center of the High Command of the Navy (OKM) from Berlin to a safer area in the middle of the forest. Construction began in 1939. On January 30, 1943, it moved into its headquarters in the Koralle camp. A little later, the main radio station of the Commander of the Submarines (BdU) was also set up on site. This meant that all communications for the submarine war now came into the station's bomb-proof communications bunker. At times, all German naval operations of the Second World War were coordinated here. The bunker was then blown up by the Soviets. Today, the bunker can be visited and many climbers practice on it.

The victims of the Franco-Prussian War are commemorated in the middle of the town of Biesenthal. Anyone coming from the direction of Bernau will rather enjoy the descent and the thrill of speed than thinking about history. The memorial is special because it is not dedicated to the victims of either world war.

Looks nice again now. After an eventful history, the castle, built in the style of the French Renaissance, is now a residential building with twelve apartments, event and office space.

During the Thirty Years' War, the village and the castle were destroyed by Danish troops. Only the stone tower of the church remained. This makes it the oldest building in town. In place of the destroyed castle, Prussia's Elector Friedrich Wilhelm had a hunting lodge built. Today's castle was built by Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I. Today it houses part of the exhibition "Hunting and Power", which is important in terms of hunting history and politics.
