Coastal Defense System (Küstenbefestigungen)

Coastal Defense Systems (Küstenbefestigungen) are military installations and fortifications built along coastlines to protect against invasions, landings, and maritime threats. They include structures such as bunkers, gun emplacements, watchtowers, and barriers designed to defend strategic points and delay or prevent enemy landings. These systems can involve artillery positions, minefields, and reinforced structures that utilize geography for added protection. The goal is to control access to important ports and inland areas, ensuring security and maintaining control over coastal regions during wartime or conflict.
