External bunkers for the missilelauch vehicles.
After a interesting tour of the bunker system we were treated with a start of a DDR jet engine!
Now we only had one more bunker to look at, it was almost already dark and completelly dark when we arrived in the woods at the HQ for Dönitz submarine fleets during the war. This was ”Koralle” that later on were remade into a Russian bunker during the cold war.
Original entrance gates to the site.
Former emergency exit, now only entrance.
First room after climbing down
During the cold war years there were problem with water so the floor on the lower level were raised, making headroom very low.

That was the end of the that bunkertour. The group stayed at a hotel close to the airport and got home the morning after.
