The Fahrerbunker is an air raid shelter located near the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, Germany.[1]
Overview
[edit | edit source]The bunker was part of a subterranean bunker complex constructed in two phases in 1936 and 1944.[2] The bunker was used as a garage for Nazi vehicles, and was closely linked to the nearby Führerbunker.[3]
Discovery
[edit | edit source]In mid-1990, Pink Floyd performed at the Potsdamer Platz in a celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. During preparations for the concert, workers found the fully intact Fahrerbunker, still furnished.[4] The bunker notably featured propaganda artwork featuring SS officers.[5] The bunker was left intact and sealed shut.[6]
