    The great fairground of the reservist comradeship in Lebach is idyllically situated and very well maintained. Great events take place here on a regular basis.

      The Siegfried Line and the RAD-Lager Zollstock am Hoxberg

      During the dictatorship of the Ill. Reich (1933-1945) the border with France was supposed to be secured by a bunker line, the "Westwall". Companies from all over Germany were employed for the construction. In 1937 a section of the Westwall was created in the Lebach area Workers were housed in Lebach families as so-called “boarders”. A network of bunkers with their own supply roads and storage facilities was fitted into the area. This bunker line was staggered here in up to three lines and was considered to be particularly strong. While it was in the Orscholz area and near Dillingen At the turn of the year 1944/45, there were no military actions around the bunkers on the Hoxberg.Because the Americans came from the direction of Trier, they bypassed the military field of activity of the fortifications located here, which was also due to a lack of troops and material The bunkers were often used as air protection for the civilian population in the vicinity. The "RAD-Lager 7/323 Zollstock" (RAD = Reichsarbeitsdienst), the foundations of which can still be seen, was built in 1937 for about 180 men: At the end of 1944, prisoners of war were also quartered in the accommodations as forced laborers. Leased part of the former RAD premises to the Lebach Reservist Association in 1983. In the years that followed, they leveled the area and turned the space into a leisure facility The facility has been named after Helmut Dittrich, the initiator and long-time chairman of the Lebach Reserve Society, since 2007.
