Bunker Kossa-Söllichau is a military underground facility in the Dübener Heide region comprising six bunkers designed as a command center. The structure contains interconnected rooms housing communication centers, work areas, and living quarters for stationed personnel.
Construction of the bunker took place between 1976 and 1979, serving as a command center for East Germany's Military District III. It maintained critical communication links with Moscow during the division of Germany.
The museum displays exhibits about Cold War military life, focusing on how soldiers stationed here carried out their daily duties in this underground facility. Visitors can see how people adapted to working and living in such isolated conditions.
The interior remains cool year-round due to its underground location with minimal natural light. Visitors should bring warm clothing and allow sufficient time to explore the facility thoroughly.
The complex features specialized tunnel systems connecting the bunkers for equipment movement, revealing how efficiently the space was planned for operations. These underground passages allowed personnel to move safely between different functional areas.
