Zoutelande was defended by two strongpoints, named after the operas ‘Meistersinger’ and ‘Lohengrin’ by the composer Richard Wagner. Located in the dunes of Zoutelande are a personnel bunker (Type 502) and an observation bunker (Type 143) that belonged to the Stützpunkt Lohengrin.
This German bunker of type FL246 was used as an ammunition storage.
The staff accommodation’s official name is ‘Regelbau 502 Doppelgruppenunterstand’. It was intended for 20 soldiers.
The observation bunker had a 20-tonne armoured-steel observation dome integrated into the roof. The surrounding area could be viewed using a periscope in the dome.
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.
