Defense Facility (Or in German: Verteidigungs-Einrichtung): ... If this building is sold, the defense is NOT disabled. The only known effect is, that the repair of the defense takes far longer, same as if it would be destroyed in PVP.
It used to be the case what you say, and that was indeed my question. But. There have been some recent patch that changed this.
Actually, I just checked on Wrath 24 and on WCS. If you sell Defense Facility and keep DFHQ, all units are disabled. This is now based off of the requirements for building defense units. To build a wall you need level 1 DF, so if DF is absent the wall is disabled. To build an mg nest you need a level 3 DF, so if DF is level 2 or lower, the mg nests are disabled but walls are not, and so on.
So now you need a DF, preferably above 12 level, for all of the units to be active. However, I could not find where this change was introduced and do not remember reading about this in any patch notes.
p.s. I just noticed that also if you do not have an infantry repair building say, offense infantry is disabled, you can't send infantry to attack. It used to be that you could send them but could not repair, but now you can't use them at all.
