Beschreibung
The so-called "Flandernbunker" (Flanders bunker) was built in the years 1942 and 1943 of the war. It is located at the Northern end of the street Hindenburgufer in the part of Kiel City which is called Wik. Opposite of the bunker there is the main entrance to Tirpitz Harbour.
The Flandernbunker contained the head office of air defence and emergency command in Kiel. In addition to military facilities there were rooms for the civilian population. After the war the British military government made the bunker unusuable by cutting huge holes in the bunker walls.
Since 2001 the bunker belongs to the "Verein Mahnmal Kilian" (Kilian Memorial Association). Since 2005 it is classified as a historical monument. At present the building is renovated. Events on history, international understanding and maintenance of peace are offered regularly.
The Flandernbunker (Flanders bunker) was built by the navy in 1943 to protect the German troops. But the walk-in grey concrete block was not torn down after the war was over: It was preserved to educate and remind us of the madness of war and defeat during the Second World War. Interested guests can visit the historical monument on guided tours.
