Wehrmacht House Heusden
Wehrmacht house
On the 't Woold golf course (De Vier Eijkenbaan), the remains of a Wehrmacht house from the Second World War stand between hole 7 and hole 9. Since 2013 it has been renovated and turned into a mini-museum.
During the Second World War, the German army constructed the so-called Kammhuber Line to defend German cities against Allied bombing from England. German General Joseph Kammhuber had already been ordered to build an air defense line in July 1940. Wehrnachts houses were built by the Germans as part of this line.
After the war, a family with five children lived in the house on the Woold. It also served as a shelter for young cattle for many years.
