The Westwall was a military defense system over 600 km long during World War II. It consisted of several thousand bunkers, tunnels, trenches, minefields, and anti-tank obstacles and stretched along the western border of the then German Reich from Holland to Basel. The Westwall was built between 1936 and 1940 in three defensive lines, likely for propaganda reasons. Its French counterpart, the Maginot Line, was built between 1930 and 1936. In the Palatinate, a 10 km long anti-tank barrier ran from the Palatinate Forest near Oberotterbach through the Weißenburg Saddle to the Bienwald near Steinfeld. The second defensive line led from Göcklingen via Mörzheim, Impflingen, Insheim, in the direction of Herxheim. The anti-tank barrier was built in the form of dragon's teeth lines. Dragon's teeth made of reinforced concrete, placed in several rows and connected by a foundation, were intended to prevent enemy tanks from entering. Today, most of the Westwall has been dismantled, bunkers have been blown up. Relics of the dragon's teeth lines in the Palatinate can still be found near Steinfeld and Niederotterbach, as well as parts of the rear defensive line in Göcklingen and Mörzheim.
