Bunkermuseum Schlei
Bunkermuseum Schlei served as a communications centre during World War II. Radio and radar signals were collected here and passed on to the German air force, which tried to intercept signalled Allied aircraft with fighters. To process this data, this bunker housed a so-called Seeburgtisch: a glass table on which the positions of Allied and German aircraft were indicated with lights.
