Description

This research is automated and may contain errors.

The designation 'OB 15cm Geschütz (d) mit Sockel WR' refers to a type of German World War II-era heavy artillery emplacement. The name indicates a 15 cm (150mm) gun, likely of a specific model ('d'), mounted on a 'Sockel WR' (foundation/ pedestal). Such installations were a common component of Germany's Atlantic Wall coastal fortifications, designed to defend against Allied naval and amphibious assaults. Given the coordinates in Denmark, this specific position would have been part of the German defensive network occupying the country during the war, intended to control access to the Baltic Sea or local waterways.

While the exact location and current state of this particular gun position are not detailed in the provided search results, similar 'OB' (Oberbauart) standardized bunkers were robust, reinforced concrete structures. They typically housed the gun crew and ammunition within a protected emplacement. Today, many such coastal battery sites across Northern Europe exist as abandoned military heritage, often in states of decay, attracting historical interest and urban exploration. Further local historical records or archaeological surveys would be required to confirm the precise condition and historical narrative of this specific site.
