The Westwall museums in Wiltingen consist of two Westwall bunkers that have been restored on a private initiative : the machine-gun slot stand and the artillery observer.

The museums are open to visitors every year from May to October on the first Sunday of the month from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Guided tours are also available on request. Admission is free.

The approach is via the Brückenstraße 332 in Wiltingen and a signposted field path.

MG-Schartenstand SK

The museum consists of a restored Siegfried Line bunker, a "normal building B1 / 1 SK 37513" for a crew of five to six. Due to the steep slope on the embankment above the Saar , a staircase and an entrance cover have been added to the bunker. The bunker was used together with three other systems that no longer exist today to secure the Saar Bridge in Wiltingen.

Artillery watchers

The museum consists of a restored Siegfried Line bunker, a "standard building 19" for a crew of six. The bunker has an open observation post, a flanking system and a combined fighting and computing room.
