Westwall - Scheid

Scheid

Heute geöffnet

The Westwall, with a total length of 630 km, is an extremely elaborate construction. The Westwall was built as a fortification and line of defense against enemy attacks from the west between 1936 and 1940.
The line here in Scheid belongs to the type "1938" and should stop up to 20 t heavy tanks. The Westwall consists of two concrete foundations running parallel to each other, on which cross foundations with 4 concrete bumps are mounted perpendicular to the enemy direction.

Impressionen

  • Concrete tank barriers of the West Wall in a green, overgrown landscape with trees in the background.
  • Snow-covered tank barriers in the forest, surrounded by bare trees and blue sky. Sunlight is shining through the branches.

    At 658 meters above sea level, the Steling is the highest elevation in the Aachen region. The excellent visibility was the reason why there was even a fire watch tower on the Steling. The view extends in an easterly direction over the Eifel National Park.
