Luftschutzbunker Gesundbrunnen

Badstraße/Hochstraße

About

The huge bunker which you'll see sticking out of a mountain of rubble in Humboldthain Park isn't open to the public. Yet close by, there is another system of World War II bunkers and shelters which visitors can take a guided tour around. When the danger of Allied air raids became imminent in 1942, the storage rooms attached to the U-Bahn tunnels were transformed into bunkers. As this U-Bahn line (U8) is exceptionally deep, the bunkers survived the War completely intact. Even the signs painted on the walls seem as fresh as ever. The Berliner Unterwelten association offers regular guided tours, starting on the corner of Badstrasse and Hochstrasse. There is also a small exhibition in the entrance hall of Gesundbrunnen U-Bahn station.
