Description

Introduction

Component G4 is located freely against a wooded backdrop, roughly between numbers 5 and 18, diagonally opposite number 6, on the northwestern side of the northern branch of the southernmost fork on Groot-Heidekamp. It was constructed as a 'Regelbau' in 1940, serving as a fire water bunker and at the macro level forms part of a large military airfield structure from the period 1940-1945. At the meso level it is part of a sparse complex of structures arranged in a brinkdorp-like configuration and at the micro level it adjoins a loosely grouped cluster of buildings arranged in loose association.

Description

A FIRE WATER BUNKER set in a brick wall approximately 70 cm high and seven metres long with a capping layer, fitted with a relatively recently renewed, single sheet-steel door, behind which a shallow space for coupling hoses. Concealed behind the wall a water reservoir beneath an artificial slope, topped with ventilation.

Valuation

FIRE WATER BUNKER, of general importance as a component of a military camp dating from the Second World War and established by the German occupier as part of a large military airfield, on account of: military and cultural-historical and complex and ensemble values, which may be evident inter alia from the coherence with and of the complete military airfield concept and the spatial main lines and components of the camp, and from the mutual relationships of the forms applied herein.
