B134a air-raid shelter, Air-raid shelter in Krumpa, Germany

The B134a shelter is a Salzgitter-type air-raid bunker built in 1944 in Krumpa, now part of Braunsbedra. It was constructed as a Schutz- und Befehlsbunker for the administration and directorate of the Wintershall A.G. Mineralölwerk Lützkendorf. Of 16 planned bunkers of this type on the plant grounds, only 8 were built due to material shortages.

The B134a shelter, also called Bau 134a, was built in 1944 as a Salzgitter-type air-raid shelter for the administration and directorate of the Wintershall A.G. Mineralölwerk Lützkendorf. Sixteen such shelters were planned for the plant site, but material shortages meant only eight were built. After the war it passed to the successor VEB Mineralölwerk Lützkendorf and became municipal property when the plant closed in 1998.

Since 2014 the bunker has housed a small documentation on the Allied fuel offensive of 1944/45 and its effects on the Geiseltal, set up by an interest group founded in 2013. The display is being expanded in the following years.
