Bunker Kagel, Cold War intelligence bunker in Grünheide, Germany.

The underground facility spans three levels across 35 by 50 meters, with one floor above ground and two floors below the surface.

Constructed in the late 1950s and completed in 1961, this bunker became the first of its kind in East Germany during the Cold War period.

The facility operated as part of the Main Intelligence Center of the Ministry of National Defense, reflecting East Germany's military infrastructure development.

The bunker contained transmission equipment capable of handling 5 kW radio transmitters, connecting through 40 different antenna systems across 40 hectares.

The communication center integrated technology from VEB Funkwerk Köpenick, including KN 1E and KSS 1300 transmitters for military coordination purposes.
