The German Bunkermuseum in Schweinfurt

The German Bunker Museum in Schweinfurt (Bavaria) shows the largest civil air defense collection during World War II and the Cold War.

Housed in the so called “Fichtel-und-Sachs bunker”, a bunker from 1941, the frame for such an collection could not be more appropriate behind concrete walls up to 3m thick.

Exciting adventure tours are offered for groups of ten and up to 40 people. The guided tour through the bunker with its highly interesting exhibition takes about one and a half hours. On request, the tour is also available in English.

There are no regular opening hours. If you are interested, please request your desired date for your group here.

Duds and remnants of bombs dropped by the Allies on Schweinfurt are also part of the huge collection.
