Koln.
Luftschutzbunkers / Air raid shelters.

In the city of Koln are still quit a lot of bunkers to find that where used as Air raid shelter for the civilian population.
During the war the Germans build several type's of bunkers to protect there civilians against the Allied bombing raids. These bunkers are spread over the city and many of where are re-used during the Cold War and still on, for Civil Protection activities. Some of them are now a days transformed into storage facilities or even apartments or business units.
I visited these bunkers with the help of the book "Bunker in Koln" by Helmut Buchen, Wolfgang Meier and Marion Mennicken. Publiced by Klartext. The data about these bunkers is also from the same book.
