Germany's Underground

Product Information

When the Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989 – 30 years ago this week – the punks realised that their music and messages would have to change, so they largely stopped making music. In 1967 - in circumstances that have never been fully explained - there was actually a first excavation at the scene. Several different tours are offered, including underground bunker hospitals, mother-and-child bunkers, flak bunkers, subterranean factories, examples of subterranean escape routes from East to West Berlin, flak towers, an underground prison, Cold War bunkers for nuclear war and a tour through the Schwerbelastungskörper, a heavy tower built to test the possibilities of erecting Germania on the sandy ground of Berlin. Pol), it was intended for use as a bomb-proof storage facility and launch site for V-1 flying bombs. On 4 November 2011, after a bank robbery in Eisenach, Mundlos and Böhnhardt were found shot dead in a burning motorhome.

The BGE followed a procedure prescribed by law that is designed to prevent any premature or prejudiced decision making in this highly sensitive area, since no German state or region is particularly keen on having the radioactive waste buried on its land. The service pistol ( HK P2000) of murdered police woman Michèle Kiesewetter was also discovered in the motorhome. Riese in German means “Giant” and is the code name for a secret construction project, where the Nazi’s built seven massive underground bases between 1943-1945 in the Owl Mountains and Książ Castle in Lower Silesia, Poland. Between 100 and 150 further associates were identified who supported the core trio in their decade-long underground life and provided them with money, false identities and weapons. Alcohol consumption or being under the influence of alcohol is not permitted in any metro facilities.

It fell to the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division on 5 September 1944 without resistance, a few days after the Germans withdrew from the area. And this was an ambitious project even by Hitler’s megalomaniacal standards: seven underground structures connected by tunnels totaling over 5. The likely reason is that former members of the Resistance - who were still numerous and influential in French politics - did not wish the episode to be resuscitated for fear of sullying their heroic image. A stream of homegrown DIY punk bands formed in the years that followed, giving a voice to the repressed and creating a vehicle for resistance. Jana Schlosser, singer of the band Namenlos, was sent to Stasi jail for two years after comparing the Stasi to Hilter’s SS.

She began mirroring the trailblazing band’s aesthetic, chopping off her hair and adorning her clothes with rips and epaulets of safety pins. While many activist groups during the period took a reformist approach to their fight, the punks wanted to fuck the system and destroy it. Dulles on the front free endpaper, inscribed to investment banker and author Gaston Coblentz, dated May 12, 1948.Berliner Unterwelten found a huge file system about slave workers during the war in a forgotten bunker, helped the former workers to receive reparation pay and have an exhibition about slave workers in Berlin. Police found a CZ 83 silenced weapon, which had been used throughout the NSU's serial murders, as well as a number of other guns in the remains of the house. The battery structures include bunkers, gun emplacements and the Marine Peilstand 3 tower, which was one of nine planned towers in Jersey for use in observing targets at sea. The complex, which became one of several Führerhauptquartiere (Führer Headquarters) in various parts of eastern Europe, was built for the start of Operation Barbarossa – the invasion of the Soviet Union – in 1941.

Perhaps due to the enormous industrial breakthrough experienced by the city in the mid-twentieth century, it became the destination for thousands of Germans and other Europeans seeking to earn a living in manufacturing.Originally codenamed Wiese (“Meadow”) or Bauvorhaben 711 (“Construction Project 711”), it is located in the commune of Landrethun-le-Nord in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France, near the hamlet of Mimoyecques about 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Boulogne-sur-Mer. In less than a year, the Stasi (East Germany’s secret police agency) had opened a file on Bergmann and she was considered an enemy of the state. Sentenced to three years of juvenile detention as he was only 20 years old at the time of the murders. The museum offers tours of some of Berlin’s most important underground structures, such as bunkers, abandoned subway stations, air raid shelters dating back to World War II and tunnels for smuggling people out of East Germany during the Cold War.
