This bunker from the Second World War was once part of a complex of which nothing can be seen today. The other buildings have disappeared and been removed. The bunker probably belonged to the ammunition factory (Moorweg). This is a so-called rule building R661, although it apparently was not used as a collection point for wounded and was not intended for combat operations (missing Tobruk).
