Bunker Museum

The bomb shelter with a capacity of about 2,500 people, known as the “Bunker”, is located on 5 floors in 120 rooms. The height of the bunker is 18 meters, the thickness of the walls is 2 meters and 1000 square meters at the base.

The bunker was built in 1943 by the National Socialists for passengers on the German state railway during the Third Reich and the Weimar Republic. Two years later, the building was seized and converted into a military prison. Later, the building was a textile warehouse, and a warehouse for dried fruits, and a club for parties and discos. Since 2003, after the acquisition of the bunker by collector Christian Boros, it has become a museum with its collections of modern art. The exhibition can be visited upon prior request. On the roof of the museum there is a penthouse, built according to the project of the Berlin architectural bureau Realarchitektur.
