Westwallmuseum Konz, Military history museum in Konz, Germany
Westwallmuseum Konz is a military history museum dedicated to the German defensive line built during World War II, featuring artifacts, documents, photographs, and multimedia presentations. The displays include detailed models and exhibits that explain the structure and geographical layout of these fortification systems.
The museum was founded in 2014 to preserve and document the Westwall fortification system, also known as the Siegfried Line, which Germany built between 1938 and 1940. This defensive line served as a key element in Germany's military strategy during World War II.
The museum functions as an educational center where visitors examine detailed models and displays illustrating the geographical layout of defense structures from World War II.
The museum is open on certain Sunday afternoons, typically the second and fourth Sunday of each month, with free entry for all visitors. Guided tours are available if you want to explore the exhibitions in greater depth, and the location is at Granastraße 29 in Konz.
The museum sits at the confluence of the Saar and Mosel rivers and incorporates preserved remnants of original military fortifications directly into its building structure. This creates a direct connection to the historical defense structures that are shown elsewhere only through models.
