     It goes without saying that a wooden or at best a brick barrack is not the healthiest place to be during an air attack or during costal bombardment.  During FM E. Rommel's inspection of Denmark in the winter of 1943 he specifically criticized the lack of St. bunkers in costal areas.  The reaction was the initiation of a building program, which also encompassed the Stellungszentrale/Auswertung of the Flugmeldemess Stellungen.  Rommel inspected BÜFFEL and the Felt Marshal actually noted that the Flak and searchlights were in St. bunkers, while the nerve center of the site was in a wooden barrack.    This resulted in the construction of L 487s in BÜFFEL, RINGELNATTER, LAMA, HABICHT, HYÄNE AND SCHAKAL.  None of the inland sites were, however, provided with St. bunkers, but in all Stellungen 1'ord. (LINDWURM, FAUN, SEEHUND and BOCK) the Stellungszentrale/Auswertung was moved to a newly constructed FA building depicted below.  This was built i.a.w. Stahlbeton-Skelettbauweise, a common civilian construction method. Judging from information on foreign WEB-sites this constructions - or one fairly similar - was also used in Stellungen in Germany, The Netherlands and Poland.  In some sites in France the H 43 Baracke was used (bottom of the page). The L 487 was built in the Netherlands at TIGER, ZANDER and BIBER.  One source indicates the construction of one L 487 in Germany possibly in HUMMER at Helgoland.
