Description

In the year 1943 the Nazi regime begins the construction of the Valentin Bunker. This top-secret project invisages the completion of a bomb-proof megastructure for the mass production of the V2 U-boot. In this structure made of 132,000 metric tons of concrete it would be possible to produce 12-13 complete u-boots each month.

Today Bunker Valentin is a memorial site for those 8,000 individuals forced to construct this bunker as well as a place of learning, education and exchange for future generations. A tour at Bunker Valentin can give much insight into this time period, but can also be difficult for many guests due to the sensitive subject matter. We try our best to approach the subject matter in a respectful manner and we would ask you to do the same.
