Wiesenbatterie Schillig, Protected area in Wangerland, Germany.
Wiesenbatterie Schillig extends across 6.6 hectares of land, featuring the only forested section within the surrounding marshland landscape of Lower Saxony.
The defense fortification was constructed before World War I and later underwent substantial demolition through explosives in 1945 following World War II.
The nature reserve gained its protected status in 1982 and now forms an integral component of the Wangerland EU Bird Protection Area.
The conservation area maintains concrete bunkers with 1.5-meter-thick ceilings, situated at elevations ranging from 2 to 7 meters above sea level.
This protected zone serves as a critical nesting and resting location for numerous bird species within an otherwise treeless marsh region.
