    A lot of time and attention to detail was invested here. Unfortunately, there are currently no guided tours, but the staff is patiently answering all questions. Anyone who deals with the topic and thinks they already know a lot is guaranteed to learn a thing or two in this museum. I found the visit absolutely informative and learned something new. Admission €4 is more than fair! Thank you for maintaining this museum and preserving it for future generations. So that they can also learn something and not mistake a mine for a shisha (as I experienced today).

    Pure history. You can go here every 2nd Sunday of the month. Except in winter! Visit 3 original Westwall bunkers from World War II. 2 are accessible and equipped with many original utensils from the dark past. You can see many original documents and architectural drawings the bunker system. Very nice volunteers with a lot of knowledge. Guide visitors into the facility. The video surveillance of the bunkers, allows visitors to always comply with the 3 G rule in accordance with Corona. Simply superbly implemented.

    A very great museum, if you can say so. It's shocking what civilians and soldiers had to go through not so long ago. You can clearly see the traces of time here, the museum is very well maintained and maintained by the volunteers. Even if tours were not possible, the volunteers answered every question patiently and in a way that made it clear! Entrance fee of 4€ is completely ok, the opening times are also ok considering that the employees don't do this full-time. Thank you for doing this task and showing the extent of the war for many future generations.

    Very nice Westwall Museum in Bad Bergzbern. The Westwall Museum in Bad Bergzbern, Regelbaus 516a, is a worthwhile sight and a good excursion destination in the region in combination with a city tour through the very beautiful old town. We would be happy to come back and would be happy to recommend the Westwallmuseum.

    It's great how the volunteers work to keep this piece of history, maintain it and make it accessible to visitors free of charge. It requires a lot of hard work, love and strength. Lots of details to see and hear during the tour. Interesting things are told that have an oh-ha effect that you can't easily find on the Internet. The area around it is also very historically beautiful and there is a lot to see. It is definitely worth it.

    I think it's great when people do things for others in their free time! Small, fine museum....

    Great museum run by nice volunteers. You really have to honor that. Lots and lots of information - almost too much.

    (Translated by Google) Too bad I can't be there during opening hours. But the outside view was impressive. (Original) Schade dass ich nicht zu den Öffnungszeiten da sein kann. Die Außenansicht war aber auch schon beeindruckend.

    War leider wider erwarten geschlossen und der letzte Aushang war von 2020, vielleicht sollte man das mal aktualisieren

  • 4/5 bernard k. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very interesting. Great that there are still volunteers who take care of the preservation. A downer is the nocturnal colorful illumination. Doesn't really fit the serious topic... (Original) Sehr interessant. Klasse, dass es noch Freiwillige gibt, die sich um den Erhalt kümmern. Ein Wermutstropfen ist die Nächtliche bunte Illumination. Passt eigentlich nicht zu dem ernsten Thema …

    Very well preserved bunker system. Lots of old collectibles in original surroundings. Run on a voluntary basis by very nice people. Definitely worth a visit!

    Great place for history. Friendly curators.

  • 4/5 Tomislav A. 3 years ago on Google • 20 reviews
    A small but very interesting museum that offers plenty of information on the German defensive line. It would be nice if a brochure or book with texts, maps and photos from the museum and museum web-page was available, so that it could be read/studied later. Worth a visit.

    Wir wurden nett begrüßt, war mal interessant zu sehen, Ein kleiner Sonntagsausflug bei schlechtem Wetter. Jacke nicht vergessen es ist kühl im Bunker 😉 ..... Zu empfehlen wenn man sich dafür interessiert 👍

    Wer Einblick in die deutsche Geschichte des zweiten Weltkrieges haben möchte ist hier an der richtigen Adresse

  • 5/5 Jörg E. 1 year ago on Google
    Eine klare Empfehlung für alle geschichtsinteressierten Menschen, weit weg von Verherrlichung oder Nostalgie. Der Schrecken der irren Zeit ist greifbar und leider zu gut abgleichbar mit derzeitigen Vorgängen unweit von uns. Der Verein leistet eine wichtige Arbeit, die Ausstellung ist umfangreich und didaktisch gut aufbereitet. Vielen Dank an den Verantwortlichen, der uns spontan trotz eigener Führung den Zutritt ermöglichte.

    Wir waren bereits mehrmals im Westwallmuseum und entdecken jedesmal wieder Neues. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und erzählt gerne über die Herkunft der Ausstellungsstücke. Klein aber sehr fein und sehr zum empfehlen. (Translated by Google) We have been to the Westwall Museum several times and discover something new every time. The staff is very friendly, helpful and happy to tell you about the origin of the exhibits. Small but very fine and highly recommended.

    (Translated by Google) For 4 € I get an insight into the story that I would never want to have again. A small fine museum that is worth a trip. (Original) Für 4€ einen Einblick in die Geschichte bekommen wie ich sie nie wieder haben möchte. Ein kleines feines Museum zu dem es sich lohnt einen Ausflug zu machen.

    There is wonderful museum for WWII geeks. Sadly, it is quite hard to get there via public transport.

    Denkt daran, wenn der Staat wieder einmal für alle bestimmen will, was am besten für sie ist, und dabei die Individualrechte vergisst. So etwas kann jederzeit wieder passieren...

  • 4/5 Arnaud L. 2 years ago on Google
    Visite très intéressante d'anciens bunkers de la ligne Ziegfrid. Donne à réflexion sur les relations entre peuples de différents pays. Aujourd'hui nous sommes des peuples amis, pourtant nos grands-parents se sont combattus et se haïssaient. Espérons qu'il en sera de même plus tard pour des peuples qui se haïssent aujourd'hui !

    Sehr gutes Museum, das zeigt, wie Menschen im Namen ungeheuer Hybris leiden mussten und zwar nicht nur als Soldaten, sondern auch als Zivilisten. Stimmt nachdenklich!
