Hello Jos,

this maybe could be a Schartenstand for a 8,8 cm Flak. This bunker was designed as a part of the so-called Limes Bauprogramm.

I will place a floorplan tomorrow.

Greetings

Daniel

Yes it is also a R 116 and thanks for asking, so this is a reminder, that I promised a drawing which I forgot to place here. Will do this very soon ;-)

Hello Arthur and others,

here is a groundfloorplan of the R 22, that was designed to house a 8,8 cm Flak. I guess at least the lower picture shows the embrasure of a R 22.

Found this one on ebay today. Absolutely great sight of a 40P8 A1 Sechsschartenturm!
Plus Höcker, Panzermauer and an MG bunker in the corner!

Hello Jos and Arthur,

this ensemble of a antitankwall, a Doppelschartenstand B1/5a Sonderausführung, WH-Nr. 736 and a Höckerhindernis is located to the southern end of the Bienwald near Hagenbach.

Today the antitankwall is intact, the bunker is lays in ruins.
