Directions
Ritthem was given the name ‘Widerstandsnest Eschwege’ (Resistance stronghold Eschwege) by the German troops. Two troop bunkers from this period can still be found there.
The bunker on Louwerse’s Wegeling has a reinforced concrete wall protecting the entrance. The other bunker is situated on the farmyard on Rammekensweg. As a result of the dyke bombardment on 7 October 1944 to the west of Fort Rammekens, the village and its defences were flooded that very same day.

5 Rammekensweg, Ritthem
