„Einmannbunker“, Brandschutzwachstände (BWS), Splitterschutzzellen werden sie genannt. Sie wurden von verschiedenen Bauunternehmen hergestellt und dienten zum Schutz vor Bombensplittern für die Beobachter. Die Zellen waren für zwei Beobachter vorgesehen. Häufig wurden sie in Industrieanlagen oder an Verkehrswegen eingesetzt. Die Beobachter meldeten bei Schäden durch Bomben diese an die Luftschutzeinheit zur weiteren Veranlassung weiter. Diese Splitterschutzzelle in Feuerbach wurde von der Firma Moll hergestellt.

(English Translation)
These structures were known as “one-man bunkers,” fire-protection watch posts (BWS) or bomb-splinter shelters. They were manufactured by various construction companies and protected observers from bomb fragments. Each shelter was designed for two observers. They were often installed at industrial facilities or along transportation routes. When bombing caused damage, the observers reported it to the air-raid protection unit for further action. This bomb-splinter shelter in Feuerbach was manufactured by the Moll company.
