Teufelsberg listening station, Former intelligence station in Grunewald, Germany.
The facility includes several white geodesic radar domes perched atop an 80-meter artificial hill constructed from World War II debris.
From 1963 to 1992, American and British forces operated this listening post to intercept Soviet communications during the Cold War period.
The abandoned structures now display over 400 works by international street artists across multiple interior and exterior surfaces of the complex.
The site requires an entry fee and advance booking for guided tours, which start at 1 PM on weekends through secured access points.
The station stands on rubble covering an unfinished Nazi military school, making it both a Cold War monument and World War II memorial.

This collection brings together underground military sites, strategic bunkers, and highly secured installations across the world. Many of these places were built during the Cold War, when nuclear threats pushed governments to create protected command centers deep under mountains or in remote areas. Some remain active today, serving national security purposes, while others have been decommissioned but preserve their massive concrete structures and tunnels. Though their existence is known from public sources, access remains strictly forbidden. The sites include the Raven Rock Mountain Complex in Pennsylvania, carved deep into the Appalachian Mountains with tunnels stretching for miles through solid rock, and the Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station in Colorado, where rooms rest on massive springs inside the Rocky Mountains to absorb shocks from potential attacks. In Russia, the Skalisty submarine base serves nuclear submarines through underground piers carved directly into rock along the Barents Sea. RAF Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire spreads across a wide area marked by white geodesic domes that protect satellite antennas, while the Svalbard Global Seed Vault lies embedded in arctic permafrost, storing millions of plant seeds behind thick concrete walls. These places show how governments sought to protect command systems, military operations, and even biological reserves by building deep into mountains or along remote coastlines, creating installations that remain largely hidden from public view.
