Windeckbunker, Architectural heritage monument in Bonn-Zentrum, Germany.
The Windeckbunker is a high-rise bunker in Bonn's city center built from reinforced concrete with six stories and exceptionally thick walls. The windowless structure stands empty today and is gradually covered by ivy.
Built in 1941 during World War II, this structure served as an air-raid shelter for about 800 people and functioned as the city's command center. It played a central role in Bonn's operations throughout the conflict.
The bunker was originally connected to the former mayor's office through an underground passage, showing its role in the city's wartime administration. This link reveals how officials moved their operations below ground during the conflict.
The building is located on Budapester Straße and is not accessible to the public. It is managed by the federal government and the city of Bonn, and visits are only possible with special permission.
The city plans to transform the bunker into a cultural center dedicated to exile art and literature, giving it an entirely new purpose. This project would convert the structure from a war relic into a space for artistic expression.
