Anschießbunker

Anschießbunker, a German term, translates to "shooting bunker." These are fortified structures designed to withstand gunfire and provide protection for personnel. They are typically constructed from reinforced concrete and can be found in various settings, including military installations, police training facilities, and sometimes as part of civilian defense measures.

The primary purpose of an Anschießbunker is to allow for safe shooting practice or to provide a secure position during combat or emergency situations. Their robust construction ensures that bullets or other projectiles are contained within the bunker, minimizing the risk of collateral damage or harm to individuals outside the structure. The interior of an Anschießbunker usually includes firing positions, often with an open front or strategically placed firing ports, and a solid rear and sides for maximum protection.

These bunkers can vary significantly in size and design, from small, single-person emplacements to larger complexes housing multiple firing lanes and support facilities. The term itself emphasizes the protective aspect against projectiles, distinguishing them from general-purpose bunkers or shelters. Their presence is a testament to the need for secure environments where shooting activities can occur without undue risk.
