Hello Snauzer01. Nice picture.
Würzburg D2 and D3's have a circular wooden platforms ('Umlaufrost') that is part of their Lafette.
Your picture show a type 'C': a rotating dipole and no peephole in the dish (like type D).
Würzburg C's are mounted on a trailer ('Anhänger A2'), platforms were locally constructed and fitted just between the trailer and the rotating Würzburg.
Often you see the wheelcaps sticking though the platform, see attachment

Near Marum, along the A7, are the remains of a German radar position (Anlage Löwe) from the early period of the war. The bunkers were most likely built to accommodate troops. There is also the concrete foundation of a Würzburg-Riese radar. The radar station was part of the "Himmelbett Stellung" that had to monitor the airspace above Western Europe. It was manned by about 200 men from the Luftnachrichten Regiment 201 II Abteilung / 12 flugmelde Leit kompanie Leeuwarden.
