In the city of Hamburg it self on two places we visited some very big and impressive Flaktürme.
One is located at the south side of the city at the Neuhöferstrasse and is known as  Flaktürm VI Wilhelmsburg,
It is a Type 2 built in 1943, 47x57x42mtr lwh, 9 floors, walls about 3mtr, 30.000 shelter places, hospital floor included. The main Flak guns on this tower were 12.8cm Flak-zwilling 40 guns
Near this bunker is also a "bunker house" standing. A house built in concrete, that had a for us unknown function during the war.

The other Flaktürm is standing in the city centre at the Heiligengeistfeld and is known as Flaktürm IV Heiligengeistfeld.

Hamburg, Finkenweder.
Air-raid shelters.

In the sub-city of Hamburg called Finkenweder, we visited some special air-raid shelter (Luftschutzbunker) situated at the Brackweg.
The bunkers are round, but not very high, about 1 floor high only. They are placed in a row along a small stream. One bunker is placed a bit further away together with the "splinter cell protection" bunker. These bunkers where designed for 1 or 2 man that had guard duties for fires during bombardments.

Types:
14x Splinter cell protection, design Dywidag.(Luftschutzzelle)

These bunkers were mostly built on places where troops were stationed or reorganized for any action. The type number indicates about the number of available places, 750,1100 or 1500.

Types:
