Ich bin erst vor ein paar Wochen in Deutschland angekommen und in der Stadt, in der ich mich befinde, gibt es mehrere dieser Strukturen. Was sind das? Ich bin neugierig.

What do the people in that town tell you????????
….I’m intrigued.
That’s probably a WW2 Bunker, the pointy top is meant to deflect bombs.
That looks like a bunker.
It’s an old Bunker from WWII. This one is a ‚Hochbunker, Bauart Winkel‘.
this is a panzer egg, out of it there will hatch some tank- u see the yellow stripe? it will be Tiger Panzer II
Nature is lovely
That’s a Luftschutzbunker, a type of Hochbunker. It’s an air raid tower, basically just an elevated bunker in the sky instead of the ground.
What’s up with people giving so little information about a topic they want to know? What town/city is it in?
There are several possibilities and giving the info what city it is gives you a higher chance to get an answer.
I don’t know this specific structure but it could be a relic of ww2 (I think most of old ww2 towers are relics of anti air / flak structures).
Other towers that are often seen in cities are old water towers or towers for the production of ammunition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_tower).
but it could be anything
You know attack on Titans? These are their plugs.
Is where the bratwurst comes from
Usually old bunkers. There are some in Gießen. Also is reused for climbing ^^
Its a Winkelturm – an air raid shelter. They were designed/patended in 1934 by Leo Winkel. They were quite popular for industrial sites as they were extremely secure and could hold up to 500 people (depending on their internal configuration). The wehrmacht awarded them a military contract so you can still find a few of them on former military sites. Roughly 200 of them were built during the course of the war, but only 80 or so have survived to this day (though only 1 was ever destroyed during the war).
Heres a deep dive into the topic as well as some interior photos -> [https://digitalcosmonaut.com/winkelturm/](https://digitalcosmonaut.com/winkelturm/)
I could only guess. Any concrete tips?
Depends on if you’re brave enough
Anal plack

Wer play L’Amour toujours in these buildings
Does it have a flared base? I can’t tell from the photo. Trees in the way.
