[3] Wegmann Unternehmens-Holding KG, based in Kassel, bought the Siemens stake in December 2010 to become the sole shareholder of KMW.

[10] In 2014 KMW faced fines of up to €400 million because it had bribed Greek officials in the sale of tanks, and the German government was considering lifting its permission to export.

When KMW applied for an expansion of the operating hours in spring 2018, this met with resistance in parts of the residential and the district committee.

[16] At the end of 2020, the citizens' initiative "School instead of tank" submitted a petition to the Bavarian state parliament with a complaint against the test track.

[17] In the still ongoing petition procedure, the Ministry of the Environment made the statement that there was no existing protection for the circuit on Ludwigsfelder Straße and that the system was not approved in terms of building law.
