It consisted of a spearhead mounted on a long shaft ( usually made of wood ) with protrusions on the sides which aided the user in parrying sword thrusts . Like the halberd it quickly became obsolete with the arrival of practical firearms although it stayed in use for many years as a ceremonial weapon . In profile , the head of a partisan may look similar to that of a ranseur , ox tongue , or spetum .

In 1939 works to build an air base for the Luftwaffe began . These works were completed in 1940 . During World War II extensive use was made of the air base , particularly by night and day fighter squadrons . After the war the air base was abandoned . In 1960 , following the founding of the German Armed Forces in 1955 and the establishing of a new branch within the German Army , the Aviation Corps , completely new military installations , hangars and a small runway made of asphalt , were constructed on the grounds of the former German Air Force base . Since 1960 various units of the German Army Aviation Corps have been stationed at Rheine Air Base . Initially , these units flew helicopters of the type Sikorsky H - 34 which were used extensively during the relief operation following the disastrous North Sea flood of 1962 . Another type of helicopter that was stationed in this period at Rheine Air Base was the Alouette II . In 1974 , the CH - 53 replaced the by now obsolete Sikorsky H - 34 and has been in service ever since . A small number of Bo 105VBH is also stationed at Rheine .

In 2004 , after a further restructuring of the Bundeswehr , during which a large number of bases were closed , Army Aviation Medium Transport Regiment 15 was given the honorary name " Münsterland " , this being the result of the German Army ' s continuing commitment to the base at the time . Army Aviation Medium Transport Regiment 15 was part of Airmobile Operations Division . In October 2011 the German Federal Ministry of Defence announced a reorganisation / reduction of the German Armed Forces . As a consequence , Army Aviation Medium Transport Regiment 15 and all auxiliary units were formally disbanded on 31 December 2012 . The remaining military personnel will be employed at the defence depot . The number of military personnel at the air base will be reduced by almost 94 per cent to 120 . A number of helicopters stationed at Rheine Air Base were relocated to either Laupheim Air Base in Southern Germany or Holzdorf Air Base in Saxony - Anhalt where they were integrated into Helicopter Wing 64 .

Mark 4 nuclear bomb The Mark 4 nuclear bomb was an American nuclear bomb design produced starting in 1949 and in use until 1953 . The Mark 4 was based on the earlier Mark 3 Fat Man design , used in the Trinity test and the bombing of Nagasaki . The Mark 3 design was essentially handmade and designed as an emergency wartime expedient design ; the Mark 4 utilized essentially the same basic design ( materials , dimensions of the nuclear core and explosive components ) but reengineered the whole design to be safer and easier to produce . The basic ideal was to " GI - proof " otherwise sensitive nuclear weapons . The Mark 4 was in diameter and long , the same basic dimensions as Mark 3 . It weighed slightly more at depending on the specific Mark 4 version ( Mark 3 weighed ) . In addition to being easier to manufacture , the Mark 4 introduced the concept of in flight insertion or IFI , a weapons safety concept which was used for a number of years . An IFI bomb has either manual or mechanical assembly which keeps the nuclear core stored outside the bomb until close to the point that it may be dropped . To arm the bomb , the fissile nuclear materials are inserted into the bomb core through a removable segment of the explosive lens assembly , which is then replaced and the weapon closed and armed . Mark 4 models used composite uranium and plutonium fissile pits . The exact pit assemblies were common with several other US nuclear weapons , the Type C and Type D pit assemblies . Various versions of the Mark 4 had explosive yields of 1 , 3 . 5 , 8 , 14 , 21 , 22 , and 31 kilotons ( 4 to 130 TJ ) . A total of 550 Mark 4 nuclear weapons were produced . The Mark 4 was succeeded by the Mark 6 nuclear bomb , which was generally similar but much improved . W4 missile warhead . A variant called the W4 , intended for use on the Snark missile , was designed but never built . The W4 design was cancelled in 1951 .

Chastel Blanc Chastel Blanc ( ) was built by the Knights Templar during the Crusades upon prior fortifications . Constructed on the middle hill of Safita ' s three hills , it offers a commanding view of the surrounding countryside , and was a major part of the network of Crusader fortifications in the area . From the roof , one can see from the Mediterranean Sea to the snow - covered mountains of Lebanon , and Tripoli . From Chastel Blanc it would have been possible to see the Templar strongholds at Tartus and Ruad Island to the northwest , Chastel Rouge on the coastline to the southwest , Akkar to the south , and Krak des Chevaliers ( the headquarters of the Syrian Knights Hospitaller s ) to the southeast . The tower is the remaining keep of the original castle . It has a height of , a width of , and a length of . A large bell is on the western wall , and its sound can be heard up to from Safita . The castle had to be restored in 1170 and 1202 following damages due to earthquakes . The keep in its current shape probably dates from the reconstruction after 1202 . Considering the time of its construction during the Crusades , the tower served two purposes , as both a chapel and a fortress , with thick walls constructed of massive and carefully fitted limestone blocks . The ground floor still contains a chapel , dedicated to St . Michael and used by the Greek Orthodox community of Safita . The second floor , which can be reached by a flight of partially destroyed stairs , served as a dormitory , and contains many small angled windows that were used by archers to defend the tower . Cut into the rock below the tower is a water cistern and a former weapons cache , essential elements in case of siege . From the other fortifications of the castle , only a portal at to the east of the keep can still be seen today . During French colonialism , efforts were made to restore the tower , causing great discomfort to the villagers that lived very close to it . In 1946 , when the castle ' s keep threatened to collapse , architect Pierre Coupel undertook an intensive programme of repairs .

Alemannic chief s dwelt there with their folk until it was abandoned at the end of the fifth century . The name Zähringen was actually mentioned for the first time in records dating back to the time shortly after the turn of the first millennium . However , it is not clear without ambiguity whether they refer already to a fortification on the hilltop or to the village , the present day suburb of Freiburg . The first definite mention of the castle was in 1128 in the “ Rotulus Sanpetrinus ” , a parchment roll issued in the nearby abbey of St , Peter . That document was written in Latin and contains the passage “ apud castrum Zaringen ” ( castrum is the Latin word for castle ) . The New Home . Berthold II moved out of this castle to Freiburg Castle on the Schlossberg of Freiburg .

Later , between 1275 and 1281 , in the wake of controversies between the Empire and the counts of Urach regarding territorial possessions , the castle was destroyed and rebuilt . In 1422 the Margrave of Baden acquired a part of the compound . The castle was definitely destroyed during the German Peasants ' War in 1525 . In 1815 the castle hill became the property of the house of Baden . Today the area belongs to the municipality of Gundelfingen . What is still intact is a large round tower that was built in the 13th century . It has an observation deck that is surrounded by merlon s . On the castle hill there is also a restaurant . From its dining room you have a good view of the valley . If you want to drive up there , you can get there by car only from Zähringen following the " Pochgasse " .
