Valentin submarine pens, Naval bunker complex in Blumenthal, Germany.

The Valentin submarine pens span 426 meters in length and rise 36 meters high, featuring reinforced concrete walls up to 7 meters thick.

Between 1943 and 1945, over 10,000 forced laborers constructed this massive U-boat manufacturing facility, resulting in numerous deaths from harsh conditions.

The memorial site includes 25 information stations with historical photographs, personal accounts, and educational materials about World War II German naval operations.

The bunker offers guided tours in multiple languages on Sundays, with audio guides available free of charge for individual exploration of the facility.

This submarine pen complex contains the largest free-standing bunker in Germany, covering more than 35,000 square meters of ground space.
