Bunker in Braunschweig, Air raid shelter network in Braunschweig, Germany
The bunkers in Braunschweig form a network of reinforced concrete structures spread across different neighborhoods, built to withstand 300kg bomb impacts.
Construction began in October 1940 when Braunschweig received priority status due to its position as a research and armament center during World War II.
The bunkers transformed from military shelters into community spaces after the war, with some converted into residential buildings and civil defense facilities.
The network includes 24 public shelters designed for 27,000 people, though during attacks they accommodated up to five times their intended capacity.
The largest bunker, located on Madamenweg, was designed for 1,500 people and featured engineering specifications from July 1941 guidelines.
