Bunker Museum, Command post museum in Kaliningrad, Russia.
The Bunker Museum is an underground command center in Kaliningrad with connected rooms and corridors built beneath street level. Thick concrete walls and period equipment show how this facility operated during wartime, with restored spaces revealing the original layout and furnishings.
Built in the 1930s, this command center served as the nerve center for military operations during the final stage of the war. The facility became historically significant in 1945 when German military leaders signed surrender documents here.
The rooms show how soldiers and officers used this space during the final battles, giving visitors a sense of daily military operations in wartime. The layout and equipment reflect the organization and priorities of the command structure at that time.
The museum is located in central Kaliningrad and is easy to reach by foot, with around two hours needed for a full visit. Wear comfortable shoes since the underground paths are uneven and some corridors are narrow.
Visitors can see original telephone lines and communication equipment used by commanders to stay in contact with other positions. These functional objects offer a direct connection to how orders were transmitted during the fighting.

Kaliningrad is notable for the coexistence of its German and Russian heritage, resulting from a history that has shaped its current identity. The city hosts the 14th-century Kaliningrad Cathedral, a brick Gothic building now serving as a museum and organ concert venue. Prussian fortifications reflect the military past of the former Königsberg, such as the Bunker Museum, which recounts World War II events, and the historic Brandenburg and King’s Gates, which once marked the city entrances. The Kaliningrad region is known for its Baltic amber deposits, displayed at the Amber Museum housed in a 19th-century tower. The Ocean Museum exhibits research ships and maritime exploration collections. 98 kilometers from the city, the Curonian Spit extends between the Baltic Sea and the lagoon, forming a strip of sand covered with pine forests and dunes. The old Königsberg Exchange and the Church of the Holy Family complete a route mixing architectural and natural discoveries.
