Before World War II, Hitler had the Siegfried Line built on the western border with France. The facility was planned from 1936 and built between 1938 and 1940. The air defense zone (LVZ), to which the bunkers in St. Wendeler Land belonged, was set up about 40 km behind the actual Siegfried Line. They essentially consisted of concreted air defense positions. The weapons used there should force an approaching enemy to a greater height, whereby they should increase his fuel consumption and reduce his radius of action at the same time. On the west side of the Bosenberg there were 5 bunkers, all of which were blown up except for the water bunker that is still visible today. Source: Text information board
