I won't be surprised if it is super contaminated. Not just from the busses, but likely from the previous operation that was there. I'm too young to remember what was there first.

The site was previously occupied by Bullas Furniture, but it wouldn't be surprising if the contaminants from the old gasification plant across Gaukel have spread to areas "east" of those that were decontaminated in the giant clean-up ten years or so ago.   I can't remember, did that clean-up extend east of Gaukel at all?  I want to say that the fountain was replaced at that time, but I really am not sure.
