While one project goes down other ones are just starting. Markus Lauer is renovating a Regelbau B1-5 in Sulzbach (Saarland).

In September 2009 the owner of the bunker gave permission to start restorating it. After removing loads of trash and installing a new 14P7 armoured door at the entrance the first part of the project is done. In the last week of january the bunker will be sandblasted. Then the actual restoration begins.

The B1-5 still has its armoured plates (7P7 and 10P7). Follow the news on this bunker on Axis History Forum.

In the last years several Westwall bunkers are being renovated. Most of them are on the website of the Verein Westwallmuseen Saar-Mosel.
