Warendorpstrasse bunker
The Warendorpstrasse bunker is a former air raid shelter in the Lübeck-St. Lorenz North.
building
It is one of a total of twenty bunkers completed in the Second World War and was erected as a rectangular five-storey building with an angled roof, free-standing between residential buildings, where a playground was actually intended. The building was moved up to the line of the street, i.e. the usual front garden was built over in order to obtain a wide free passage behind the splinter protection wall on the ground floor in front of the entrance locks. The bunker has two front and one rear entrance at ground level.
architecture
The building is neoclassical in shape and differs with its free and concrete-facing shape from those where local structures were used.
history
The air raid shelter was built in 1941 and had a usable area of 1078 m². After the end of the war, demilitarization was required through demolition, which was not carried out. The Warendorfstrasse bunker was restored from 1962 with 1000 shelter sites and from 1977 served again as an air raid shelter for a three-week stay in the event of a disaster , self-sufficient and with its own well. In 2008 the bunker maintenance was discontinued. In accordance with a decree of the Federal Ministry, the bunkers were deconsolidated to release them from the civil protection program.
In 2017 the bunker was offered for sale for a new use.
