The construction of the bunker is connected to test series for military vehicles of the Bremen car manufacturer Borgward, for which the then largest employer in the Hanseatic city was looking for a suitable site and found it in Bierden.

It is a bit strange when you walk through the nature reserve Sandtrockenrasen Achim and suddenly discover this bunker that seems to be enthroned above everything.
The bunker is a holdover from the time when the Borgward company tested the driving characteristics of their military vehicles in this area. A creepy idea.
There are two newspaper articles that are very worth reading:
