Bunker Eichenthal

Bunker Eichenthal is an underground military fortification in Lindholz consisting of four levels of reinforced concrete connected by tunnels and passages. The spaces are arranged for command and communications functions, with separate areas designed for different operational tasks.

The facility was built between 1983 and 1988 and served as a command center in East Germany's BARS system. It was part of the military infrastructure during Germany's division and used for strategic operations.

The site displays remnants of military operations through preserved equipment and materials from Germany's division era. Walking through the rooms gives a sense of how soldiers worked in this underground setting.

Access is by guided tour, which allows visitors to safely explore the underground spaces and understand the layout of the various sections. Wear sturdy shoes since floors can be uneven, and temperatures remain constant in the depths.

In the command center, visitors can experience reconstructed sound scenes showing how orders and announcements were made. This installation gives a direct sense of how intense and structured daily life was in this facility.
