Hochbunker Lerchenauer Straße
Hochbunker Lerchenauer Straße, Air raid shelter in Milbertshofen, Germany
Hochbunker Lerchenauer Straße is a five-story circular tower with a flat roof located in Munich's Milbertshofen district. The exterior walls are clad with stone panels, and the structure appears as a sturdy, fortress-like column in the urban landscape.
The bunker was built in 1941 following designs by architect Karl Meitinger as a civil defense structure during World War II. It was designed to shelter around 450 people and stood near the former Oberwiesenfeld airfield.
The structure represents a notable example of German civil defense architecture and maintains status as an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria.
The structure stands freely in the city and can be viewed from the outside throughout the year. It is located near the BMW factory grounds and is easy to reach.
An identical bunker stands nearby on Riesenfeldstraße, and both towers share the same architectural design. The structure now also serves as an access point to underground ventilation systems that run beneath the city.
