Silkeborg Bunker Museum

Silkeborg Bunker Museum occupies a former German military bunker from World War II. The underground space contains radio equipment, furniture, and personal items that show how soldiers lived and worked there.

The bunker was built in 1943 when German military moved its headquarters from Copenhagen to Silkeborg. This relocation was part of a strategic reorganization of German occupation forces in Denmark.

The bunker displays objects from the occupation period and shows how local people lived during those years. The artifacts tell stories of daily life under German control.

The rooms are tight and low, so visitors should wear comfortable shoes and expect limited headroom. It is helpful to check in advance whether the museum is open on your intended visit day.

A striking feature is the General's Command Bunker, hidden below ground level and not immediately visible from above. This concealed design shows how the German military sought to hide its facilities.
