Bunker Garzau

Bunker Garzau is an underground concrete facility hidden below ground with two levels and rooms containing old military computers and communications equipment. The structure was designed to protect sensitive operations from above-ground threats during wartime.

The facility was built between 1972 and 1975 by East Germany's Defense Ministry for the National People's Army. It served as a computing center to process and store military commands and information during the Cold War.

The facility displays original computers from the 1970s and 1980s, showing how Eastern European technology worked during that era. You can see how military staff once used these machines in their daily operations.

Visitors can explore the underground rooms and old technology on guided tours at the site. It is best to check opening times in advance, as visits follow a scheduled program and may require registration.

The facility maintained direct communication links with military headquarters using specialized cable and radio connections. These secure networks allowed the center to receive and process daily reports from all military branches in real time.
