Pröbsten
Pröbsten was a village in the former district of Fallingbostel, located in the Heidmark in the German state of Lower Saxony. Its inhabitants were resettled in 1935/36, because the German Wehrmacht wanted to establish a major military training area, the Truppenübungsplatz Bergen, on the heathland and forest of the Heidmark.
