Abstract
Under the Treaty of 12 October 1990 between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics concerning the temporary stay of Soviet troops and the conditions governing their planned withdrawal from the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, and in the Joint Declaration of the German and Russian governments of 16 December 1992, it was agreed that the withdrawal of Russian troops would take place during the period extending from 1991 to the end of August 1994. In terms of scale and the material resources involved, the withdrawal of Russian troops from German territory was undoubtedly one of the most grandiose projects of the 20th century. In the course of this operation, 1,026 officially declared tracts of real estate with a total area of more than 213,000 hectares were transferred to the FRG Federal Property Office.
