Hochbunker Pallasstraße

The bunker plus the apartment building, which is built partially on top of the old bunker are worth a visit for architecture fans and photographers. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be away to get closer to the bunker or even get a glimpse inside.
At the time of my visit there was an art installation on the eastern side of the complex which featured a lot of stereo speakers, which made for even more interesting pictures.

To this day, the gray high-rise bunker, only the shell of which was completed, is a reminder of the National Socialist dictatorship and the Second World War. It was built in 1944/45 by Soviet forced laborers. They were housed in the neighboring Augusta School, today's Sophie Scholl School. The bunker on Pallasstraße was supposed to house the technology of the nearby telecommunications office, but that never happened. After the war, US soldiers tried several times in vain to blow up the bunker. Out of consideration for the surrounding buildings, no sufficiently large blasts could be carried out. During the Cold War there were repeated discussions about the concrete block. Against much resistance, it was expanded at the request of the Western Allies in 1986-89 to become the largest civil defense bunker in Berlin with four locks and over 4,800 places. In 2002 a »u003eplace of remembrance« was inaugurated at the bunker, drawing attention to the fate of the forced laborers. Since then it has repeatedly served as an exhibition venue. The bunker was finally desecrated in 2010 and placed under monument protection in 2011
