WH 309
WH 309 is a reinforced-concrete bunker in Saarbrücken, within Germany’s Westwall. The defensive line is also known as the Siegfried Line. Its military setting links the site to a network of strongholds and observation points along Germany’s western border. Camouflage helped these positions blend into the surrounding landscape.
Germany built the Westwall from the late 1930s through the early years of the Second World War. Thousands of bunkers, tank traps and other fortifications formed the line. Artillery-resistant concrete and strategic placement reveal how the network prepared for possible invasions. Inside, you can explore a tangible reminder of wartime engineering and Saarbrücken’s military past.
