The Location Of Adolf Hitler's Bunker In Berlin
Back
Hitler's bunker was in or rather under the garden of the Reichskanzlei (1), which was at 77 Wilhelmstra�e, in the area where most of the government buildings were. There were several underground passageways and other, smaller bunkers in this part of Berlin (one of which -Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler's bunker- has been discovered only recently, when work was being done for Roger Waters' "The Wall" concert). There's nothing left of the Reichskanzlei (it was levelled by the Russians), so the exact spot may be difficult to find. The bunker was located somewhere in the red area on the map, away from the Wilhelmstra�e (which only recently reverted to its pre-war name) in the direction of the Goeringstra�e (now Ebertstra�e) and not far from the Vo�stra�e. It had a stairway leading to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2) which was at 75 W ilhelmstra�e. There is a childrens' playground now on the spot where Hitler's and Eva's bodies were burnt, which was right behind a bunker entrance. In May '95, the regional parliament of Berlin decided to lock up the remnants of the bunker and build houses for representatives from the Bundesl�nder on top of it, rejecting a proposal from the Gr�nen/B�ndnis 90 to retain it as a monument. As far as I know, the actual building activities until now have been a good 100 meters away from the location of the bunker. Most of it (the entrances and parts of the bunker) has already been destroyed, some of it by the Russians right after the end of the war, but there should be quite a bit left from the actual F�hrerbunker, which was 15 m eters underground and protected by meters of concrete.
