The horse trough was built in 1940 by the soldiers who were staying in five bunkers located in the fields between Rodt and Zemmer. As the name suggests, it was used to water the army horses. The water needed was piped from raised tanks in the forest into the horse trough.
The bunkers were part of the fortifications built on the German western border in 1936, the so-called West Wall.
Today the horse trough is a habitat for small animals such as amphibians, lizards and insects. In times of scarce water, it serves as a watering hole for the animals of the forest.
