L480 Unterstand für Wassermann S
A type L480 bunker with Wassermann S radar base. Sabotage committed during the war prevented the Wassermann radar from actually being positioned on top of the bunker. Instead, the antenna was installed elsewhere on the island. The bunker may have been a command post.

Lüfterraum
The Lüfterraum is the room containing the ventilation equipment. It contained air filters for air entering the bunker, so that even in the event of a gas attack, fresh air could be pumped in and used air pumped out.
