  ...und deshalb nicht für jeden Personenkreis zu empfehlen. Das Museum ist nur an Wochenenden geöffnet und Kosten für Erwachsene 5 EUR Eintritt. Geboten werden Informationen zum gesamten Thema Westwall, Ausstellungsstücke von Geschützen, Bomben, militärischen Ausrüstungen sowie Karten und Modelle der Anlage. Das Museeum ist ein Rundgang im Wall selbst, da es mit cirka 8 Grad ziemlich kalt ist, sollte man warme Kleidung tragen (auch an den Füßen!). Die Beschreibungen sind größtenteils aud deutsch und schon etwas älter. Es ist also eher ein "Lese-Museum", aufgrund dessen für Kinder wahrscheinlich uninteressant.

  Sept1987

  Self guided tours of an underground bunker complex built in the 1930s as part of the Westwall. Better known as the Siegfried Line, it stood opposite the more well known French Maginot Line. Lost of photos, dioramas, and scale models. Several US and German weapons and vehicles on display, including an 88mm tank gun and flak gun plus German and US half-tracks. Most display signage is in German but if you are familiar with WWII history and equipment you'll know what you're looking at. Worth a visit if you're a military history buff, are close by and have a couple of hours spend. Not far from the Dynamikum in Pirmasens. Only open Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5. 5 Euro entry fee, free parking.

  I'm a huge history fan, and this place was right up my alley! The bunker was a real German WW2 station on the Siegfried Line for SS panzer troops. The self-guided tour shows heavy equipment, guns, tanks, model displays, uniforms, etc... The bunker was much larger than I expected. Our wives found it extremely boring, but the guys loved it. The admission was 5 Euro. A detailed guided tour is available for an additional fee, but it's in German.
