Besseringen B-Werk, Military fortification in Merzig, Germany.
The three-story bunker complex encompasses 44 rooms across 24 meters in length and 17 meters in width, with reinforced concrete walls measuring 1.5 meters thick.
Constructed between 1938 and 1939 for 1.3 million Reichsmarks, this bunker formed part of the Siegfried Line, stretching 630 kilometers along Germany's western border.
The structure now functions as a museum, preserving military engineering and defensive architecture from the pre-World War II period in Germany.
Visitors can explore the bunker complex during guided tours on Sundays and public holidays from April through September between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
Among 32 original B-Werke fortifications, this remains the only preserved example retaining its original construction features and gun turrets after World War II.
