The 18 bunkers of the "Halberg-Position" were built between 1937 and 1940 and were part of the so-called "Westwall", which was created in the course of the war preparations and extended over a length of 630 kilometers from the Lower Rhine to the Swiss border.

I know of some blown-up bunkers on the West Wall near Karlsruhe. There are still some here that can be visited.
The West Wall consisted of 17,800 bunkers (!).

"The 18 preserved bunkers of the "Halberg Position" were built between 1937 and 1940 and were part of the so-called "West Wall", which was built in the course of preparations for war and stretched over a length of 630 kilometers from the Lower Rhine to the Swiss border."

The search for “westwallmuseum wh 316” provides information. Partly it's Facebook, which I don't have.
