Hochbunker Limburg, Above-ground air-raid tower (Winkelturm) in Limburg an der Lahn, Germany

The Hochbunker Limburg is a Winkel-type air-raid tower (Winkelturm) on the WERKStadt shopping centre grounds, built to Leo Winkel's design. Its above-ground concrete tower tapers to a point, and the structure stands on a bed of iron shavings laid to improve shock absorption.

The Hochbunker Limburg was built in 1941 as a Luftschutzbunker of the Winkel type, designed by engineer Leo Winkel, to protect employees of the Reichsbahn-Ausbesserungswerk Limburg from Allied air raids. It stands on the grounds of today's WERKStadt shopping center. To improve shock resistance, the structure was erected on a bed of iron shavings.

The bunker is known locally as the "Winkelturm", after the Winkel type designed by engineer Leo Winkel. Inside, the wooden benches on which people sheltered in 1941 are still in place, and much of the wartime fittings survive. The building is a protected monument today.

The bunker stands on the grounds of the WERKStadt shopping centre in Limburg an der Lahn, where it is a protected monument; the sources record no regular opening to the public, so visits depend on the site's own arrangements. Inside, much of the wartime fittings survive, including the wooden benches used by those sheltering.

The bunker rests on a bed of iron shavings laid under the structure to dampen vibrations from nearby bomb hits. The design is the Winkel type, named after its inventor Leo Winkel, and the building is known locally as the "Winkelturm".
