After the end of the war, demilitarization was required through demolition, which was not carried out. The round bunker Töpferweg was restored with 778 shelter places and served again from 1989 as an air raid shelter to shelter in the event of a disaster . In 2008 the bunker maintenance was discontinued. In accordance with a decree of the Federal Ministry, the bunkers will be deconsolidated again to release them from the civil protection program.
