During World War I, this land fortification was supposed to protect the Ruhr area. It was built back in 1922. Bunkers were blown up, the trenches are still clearly visible throughout the area today.

Here you can walk a bit in the reconstructed trenches and get a feel for what the soldiers' daily lives were like.

Reconstructed trenches from World War I. In 1963 this part of Germany became Dutch, making it the only German World War I trench located on Dutch territory.
