This small bunker was used for temporary protection during surprise attacks during the Second World War. As a makeshift shelter, it was a refuge for the skippers at this point. Poured from concrete and firmly anchored on a concrete slab, it withstood the shocks and air pressure from the impact of bombs.
The heavy door secured the entrance hatch and the viewing slits made it possible to observe the dangerous situation. In an attack in 1944, the skipper of the "Mainkette" cargo ship saved himself in this one-man bunker and survived - Association for Local and Local Wundering eV
