Führerbunker
Behind the Voßstrasse is a street that didn’t used to be there called In der Ministergarten. At the end of it, across the G. Kolmarstrasse, is a parkinglot and a little playground. Underneath it are the remains of the Führerbunker.
Today: even in the ground there’s not much left of the bunker than the ground plate and a part of the wall
A small but accurate book about the Führerbunker is Sven Felix Kellerhoff’s Mythos Führerbunker. There never was any information on site about the bunker, but since 2006 there is an informationstand near the bunkersite.
