The exhibition "Hitler - how could it happen" is presented in an original air raid shelter from 1942 at Anhalter Bahnhof. The exhibition explains the terror of the National Socialists and the rise of their party and provides information about Hitler's last hideout, the Führerbunker.
How could it happen that so many people voted for Hitler? How did he become a Nazi? How did he come to power? How did anti-Semitism lead to concentration camps and the Holocaust? Why did generals and soldiers go along with it until the end?
The air raid shelter extends over five floors with a total area of around 6,500 square meters. The documentation is devoted in detail to the topics of bunkers, the Third Reich, the Nazi era, the myth of Germania, flight, expulsion and the Holocaust.
Visitors can explore the historical site in more depth with an audio guide.
Guided tours and tours with a guide are not currently offered.
