The site was created on an area of sandy soil and burned trees that was destroyed during the Fire on the Lüneburg Heath in 1975 . On this location , the protesters built over the course of several days a village of around 110 huts , made from wood and clay , which was a typical style of protest for anti-nuclear activists at the time . Among the buildings were numerous community facilities , such as the 100-person-capacity Friendship House , greenhouses , an infirmary , a hairdressing salon and an area for waste disposal . There was also a sauna and bathing facilities . Water was piped in by a wind-powered well and warmed with solar power
