Under den anden verdenskrig anlagde den tyske værnemagt et udstrakt system af bunkersanlæg langs den jydske vestkyst.
Det var et led i Atlantvolden, der strakte sig fra den franske kanalkyst til norspidsen af Norge.
Sommeren 1944 påbegyndte man derfor opførslen af 2 kanonbunkere, der skulle beskytte indsejlingen til Esbjerg Havn.
Stillingen blev imidlertid aldrig færdig inden krigen sluttede 5. maj 1945.
Tirpitz bunkeren er nu indrettet som museum hvor man kan se og opleve livet under 2. verdenskrig. Der er krigsmateriel og interaktive områder, hvor man f.eks bevæger sig i et mineområde.
Museet Tirpitz rummer arkitektur, oplevelser og fortællinger i verdensklasse. Kåret af besøgende som Danmarks bedste temamuseum i 2017.

During the Second World War, the German Wehrmacht built an extensive system of bunkers along the west coast of Jutland as a part of the Atlantic Wall, which stretched from the French Channel coast to Nordkapp in Norway.
In the summer of 1944, therefore, the building of Battery Tirpitz was begun. The battery was supposed to cover the entrance to the habour of Esbjerg.
However, the battery was never completed before the liberation on May 5th, 1945.
The old Tirpitz Bunker looks like a colossus in the sand and contains the story of Hitler’s gigantic bunker project: the Atlantic Wall. Visitors enter the bunker through an underground exhibition tunnel from Tirpitz.. There are war supplies and interactive areas, for example, moving in a mining area.
The Tirpitz Museum contains world-class architecture, experiences and tales. Named by visitors as Denmark's best theme museum in 2017.
