Blick in den Fichtebunker
The former gasometer can look back on around 140 years of history.Until the Nazi era, the building erected in 1883/84 was used for municipal street lighting.In 1940, a six-storey ‘mother and child bunker’ with state-of-the-art technical equipment was installed.In the post-war period, it was used as a reception centre for refugees and bombed-out people, with a prison in the basement.In the 1950s, a retirement home and a homeless shelter were set up in the windowless bunker.From 1963, it was only used to store food reserves for West Berliners.
There is NO guided tour, but the staff on site to answer any questions you may have. The tour is free of charge, but registration in the form of a time slot ticket is required.
