Discover more about Historical location of the Führerbunker

The Führerbunker was a subterranean bunker complex constructed in two phases in 1936 and 1944. It served as Adolf Hitler's last Führer Headquarters during the final months of World War II. As the war turned against Nazi Germany, Hitler moved into this underground command center in January 1945. The complex consisted of the Vorbunker (the upper bunker) and the deeper Führerbunker, connected by a stairway. Here, in the bunker's austere interior, Hitler orchestrated the downfall of the Third Reich. On April 29, 1945, he married Eva Braun, and the following day, they committed suicide as Soviet troops advanced on Berlin. The bunker symbolized the regime's desperation and ultimate failure. After the war, the Soviets leveled the Chancellery buildings and attempted to destroy the bunker. While some sections remained, they were largely forgotten until the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the late 1980s, some parts of the complex were uncovered and destroyed during redevelopment. For many years, the site remained unmarked to avoid becoming a neo-Nazi shrine. In 2006, a small plaque was quietly installed at the corner of In den Ministergärten and Gertrud-Kolmar-Straße. The plaque includes a schematic diagram of the bunker and historical details in both German and English. Today, the site serves as a somber reminder of the atrocities of the Nazi regime and the importance of remembering history.
