OB 110cm Scheinwerfer is a German World War II coastal artillery searchlight bunker located in southern France. Built as part of the Atlantic Wall defenses, this structure housed a powerful 110cm searchlight used to illuminate targets at sea during nighttime operations. The bunker exemplifies the German military engineering of the era, designed to withstand Allied bombardment while providing critical illumination for coastal batteries.

The site is situated in a strategic coastal location, typical of the extensive fortification network constructed by Nazi Germany along the French coastline between 1940 and 1944. These installations formed an integral part of Hitler's defensive strategy against potential Allied invasion attempts. Today, the bunker stands as a historical monument to the military architecture of World War II, offering insights into the technological capabilities and defensive mindset of the period.
