Not far from the new Schmuckerhof, the US Army border observers had built this fortified shelter. From here they could observe what was happening on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Today, the concrete bunker, dug into the ground, has a completely different function: it serves as a storage area for the manager of the three nearby fish ponds.
