Love that Rollop! Need to load mine up. The "German Crude Oil Museum"? What does it hold?

Thank you!

I think its Enna Ennit (Tessar type) 80mm f/2.8 is a nice lens.

The "Deutsches Erdölmuseum" ("German Crude Oil Museum") is a museum north of Hannover which is focused on the drilling of Oil.
It also shows briefly the formation of oil in the past, the processes at a refinery and the products made of oil inside the museum building.

But its empasis is based on the history of oil drilling and the infrasructures and machines used for it. This is shown at the outdoor part at the museum.

Interesting ist that it is located at one of germanys most productive oil field in former days.

From 1859 - 1963 they were extracting oil from the ground and between 1900 - 1920 80% of germanys oil production was located there.

The remains of the western defense line ("Siegfried Line"; Germany, WWII). The dragon's teeth were meant to act as tank traps ...

For me, every day, week, month, or year brings a new favorite TLR photo. I shot this photo in NYC on 2/12/2014:

You have given us some really interesting pictures with the Rollop. Love the Trabi. What are these last two -- they look like a former gun emplacement or pillbox, with an observation deck on the top now? Is this near the old BRD/DDR border?
 
Thank you!

The first one is the view from the top of the bunker.

The bunker is not that far away from the former BRD/DDR border but it was build before WWII.
It is called the "Hindenburg Bunker" after the first commanding officer of the Munster training area, where it is located.
(He later became famous in Germany as the "Hero of Tannenberg" (WW I) and the second President of Germany (1925 - 1934)

Thanks! So what was the purpose of the bunker, if built prior to WWII? That is, what was it defending?

We certainly know of Herr Hindenburg over here! (Though of course many think first of the zeppelin named for him, which burned and crashed in New Jersey.)
