In particular, the creation of the military training area that is today the Bergen-Hohne Training Area in 1935 encouraged the beginning of a period of urbanisation that has led to Bergen's transformation from an agriculturally based village into the small town it is today, characterised by trade and commerce with agriculture having largely lost its significance.
Eriti sõjalise harjutusala loomine 1935. aastal, mis täna on Bergen-Hohne treeningala, ergutas linnastumise perioodi algust, mis viis Bergeni muutumisele põllumajanduslikust külast tänapäevaseks väikelinnaks, mida iseloomustab kaubanduse ja äri, kus põllumajandus on suuresti oma tähtsuse kaotanud.
