Gedenkstätte Silberbergtunnel, World War II memorial tunnel in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Germany.
The Silberbergtunnel stretches 660 meters through the Silberberg mountain, featuring reconstructed wooden shelters at its eastern entrance.
The tunnel, initially planned for railway infrastructure in 1910, served as a shelter for 2,500 civilians during Allied bombing raids in 1944-1945.
The memorial site displays replicas of wooden huts where families lived, complete with house numbers and a central pathway for bicycle traffic.
The memorial site, maintained by the Alt-Ahrweiler Heritage Association, connects to the Red Wine Hiking Trail for convenient access.
Between the war periods, the tunnel housed a mushroom cultivation facility to reduce German dependence on French champignon imports.
