Regelbau 502 Doppelgruppenunterstand

Zoutelande’s defence consisted of two constructions named after the Meistersinger and Lohengrin operas made by composer Richard Wagner. There is a type 502 barracks bunker and a type 143 observation bunker in the dunes of Zoutelande, part of the ‘Stützpunkt Lohengrin’. The Zoutelande Bunkermuseum is located in both bunkers.

The staff accommodation’s official name is ‘Regelbau 502 Doppelgruppenunterstand’. It was intended for 20 soldiers. The walls and roof are two metres thick, making this bunker able to withstand the bomb impacts.
