Hochbunker Lazarettstraße Münster, Air raid shelter in Münster, Germany

The concrete bunker features medieval fortress-style architecture with a surrounding dry moat and access bridge at the Lazarettstrasse location.

Built between 1941 and 1943, the bunker provided protection for up to 1200 people during World War II air raids, exceeding its planned capacity of 548.

The structure represents wartime adaptation through its design, which mimics historical fortifications to integrate with Münster's traditional architectural landscape.

The former air raid shelter, now owned by the city of Münster, contains multiple rooms including machine areas and washrooms with preserved original door signs.

Two plane trees and a horse chestnut tree grow in the engineered moat that never contained water, all currently protected under nature conservation laws.
