The Westwall was a military defense system along the western border of Germany.

In many places, such as in the district of Pannesheide, near the Dutch border with Kerkrade, the cusp lines of the Westwall can be seen at least in part. Cows graze left, right and in the middle of the concrete pavement. Only the very expensive removal of these concrete structures is due to their existence. Because in North Rhine-Westphalia only very few war structures or fortifications from the Second World War have survived. In particular, these are above all the Westwall cusp lines. Today, these land areas, unsuitable for other uses, play an important role, especially for flora and fauna. In the vicinity of the Siegfried Line, special animal and plant species have discovered a protected habitat for themselves. In this way, a deterring concrete wall became a habitat for threatened plants and animals.
