The main focus is on 'civil air defence during the Second World War', bombing attacks and their repercussions, modern discoveries in the earth, and ammunition recovery. Our exhibition, which is constantly being expanded and optimised, provides information about the history and development of Berlin from an underground perspective. Under this name, we could participate in the 'Long Night of the Museums' for the first time in spring 2005. In line with our objectives, we have set up the 'Berlin Underworlds Museum' in these rooms, which extend over four underground floors.
The Association finances all of this itself. Since then, more than 10,000 hours of work have been carried out on a voluntary basis by active members of the Association, and we continue to refurbish and renovate the building. Due to the authentic state of preservation, which is unique in Berlin, we were able to obtain monument protection for this historic complex as early as autumn 1999. To do this, in March 1998, we were able to rent 'Bunker B' in Gesundbrunnen subway station from the Berlin transport company (BVG).
The Berlin Underworlds Association would like to give the public an insight into the underground of our city.
