Thanks Kurt

Let me rephrase my question , the Reiher-stellung must be a kind of defense-line .

Does it point to western or eastern front?
On eastern front some field lines were named after animals, like lizard stellung, hamster stellung, gazelle stellung etc.

Thanks to Herring

I can tell you were the Reiher-Stellung was ,It's located west of Panther linie, in Russia/Belarussia, near
to Latvian border. I guess, it's function was to be a Gross-Kampflinie according to Panther Stellung.
Goes like: Opochka - Sebezh - Asveia - Verkhnedvinsk. It was defeated in summer 1944.
