Siegfried Line Museum, Irrel

The Siegfried Line Museum contains three underground levels displaying photographs, weapons, and military artifacts from World War II within concrete fortification walls.

The bunker belonged to the Katzenkopf Strongpoint of the Siegfried Line, constructed between 1937 and 1939 as part of Germany's defensive wall system.

The museum preserves accounts and personal items from soldiers who served at the fortification, documenting their experiences during wartime operations.

Visitors can access the museum during summer months on Sundays and public holidays, though the underground structure lacks wheelchair accessibility.

The concrete walls of this northernmost strongpoint reach two meters in thickness, making it one of 32 specialized B-specification fortifications.
