Norderney was in the first and second world war military zone. With the outbreak (it was summer) of the First World War, within a week evacuated the entire island. On 10 August 1914, the bath was officially closed. Most islanders were deprived of their livelihood. It began to expand the fortress with airfield bunkers in the dunes and little train to supply the ammunition bunker. During World War II began the expansion has continued and perfected. The home, playground, bank protection from the harbor to Giftbude, the buildings at the mill and part of northern settlement helmet are all military buildings. In the tissue area are now behind the halls and houses ammunition bunkers, which you can hardly tear. The west and north side of the island was equipped with antiaircraft guns and heavy "marine batteries. Some bunkers are visible as fragments, others are buried under sand, like the anti-aircraft position on the current hotel Pique. Observant walkers wonder why there over the unusual dune.
