The light anti-aircraft position "Drei Berge" probably belonged to the heavy anti-aircraft battery of the Luftwaffe, which was located opposite "Oxstedter Straße". The light anti-aircraft guns were probably set up at this location to protect the heavy battery, and according to reports, the anti-aircraft searchlight of the unit stationed here was also located here. The anti-aircraft guns and searchlights were set up on two megalithic tombs from the Bronze Age. Apart from that, there is no further background information about this position. There are no photos, reports or plans to date. The only remnants are an aerial photograph of the Allies and some concrete foundations as well as visible faults in the landscape. After the withdrawal of the 6th/Reserve Anti-Aircraft Division 333, which had been stationed in Berensch in the meantime, the facility apparently remained unused. However, it is suspected that the anti-aircraft searchlight of the Marine Leuchtgruppe 10 (Oxstedt) was located here from 1941. However, there is still no corresponding evidence for this.
However, an information board erected on site at the historic >Goldberg, Fuchsberg and Drei Berge< burial mounds indicates the existence of the anti-aircraft battery

A concrete part removed from the field in the side area. A testament to the existence of the anti-aircraft battery.
The concrete slab on the easternmost burial mound of the complex. The anti-aircraft searchlight is said to have stood on it.
The only official reference to the anti-aircraft gun position >Drei Berge< is this excerpt from the reports of the Cuxhaven Naval Staff from March 6, 1940. Further background information and photos from that time regarding this battery are currently not available.
It is to be assumed that in addition to the searchlight, the listening device was also stationed here, even though the location is given as Oxstedt (10.02.1941).
