U-Boot-Bunker Finkenwerder

The reinforced concrete structure measures 232 meters by 160 meters with a roof thickness of 3.6 meters to protect submarines inside.

Construction of the submarine bunker began in March 1941 and continued until 1944, providing shelter for up to 15 submarines during World War II.

The site includes memorial elements and information panels that document the involvement of forced laborers and concentration camp prisoners in its construction.

Visitors can explore the partially excavated foundation walls outlined with black gravel, which showcase the dimensions of the former submarine complex.

After demolition in 1946, the bunker remained buried until 2002, when construction work at Airbus facilities led to its rediscovery and transformation into a memorial.
