Tips

From 1937 the area was used again by the Wehrmacht. After the end of the Second World War, the French occupation forces stationed in Kaiserslautern took over the military training area in 1945. Some of it was used by the US armed forces, whose bases at Ramstein Air Base and Sembach are not far away, initially as a missile base for surface-to-surface missiles of the MGM-13A Mace type, then by communication units. After the end of the Cold War at the beginning of the 1990s, the French garrison was disbanded and the training area was returned to Germany in 1992. The US land was returned two years later, in 1994. This bunker and other remnants are still there.

Do bats live in there? There's a slit in the door

The bunker is a remnant of the wars and the Wehrmacht. I wasn't in the bunker either.
