Strausberg Bunker

The Strausberg Bunker is a former telecommunications center built in the early 1980s with two underground levels containing work areas and technical installations. The facility served as a protected location for East German military communications operations.

Deutsche Post built this fortified communications complex in the early 1980s as a key part of East Germany's nationwide message network. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the structure remained intact and public tours began in 2019.

The bunker shows how East Germany organized and protected its communications systems. Visitors can see the rooms and equipment that specialists once used for message transmission.

Access is through organized tours arranged by the Orte der Geschichte association, so advance arrangement is required. The complex is entirely underground, so plan to spend time exploring the different levels and rooms.

The tunnel system under the site is being gradually transformed into an art gallery, linking historical structures with contemporary art creation. This unusual conversion shows how the location is reinterpreting its industrial past.
