Hochbunker Heckeshorn

The Hochbunker Heckeshorn stands six stories tall with reinforced concrete walls measuring four meters in thickness, making it one of Berlin's most solid structures.

Constructed in 1943, this bunker served as the command center for Berlin's air defense during World War II, coordinating fighter aircraft within a 250-kilometer radius.

The structure transitioned from a military facility to a pathology center and later became a fully equipped emergency hospital, reflecting Berlin's changing needs over decades.

The bunker contains an advanced air purification system, emergency power generators, ventilation systems, and water supply infrastructure capable of supporting 700 people.

The facility maintains medical equipment that allows it to transform into a complete hospital with operating rooms within 48 hours of activation.
