List of high bunkers in Munich

This list includes high bunkers in Munich . Most of them are now unused or used for other purposes (living, art), only two (in Schleißheimerstrasse and Blumenstrasse) are still dedicated as protective structures.

Bunkers or air defense towers were designed, patented and approved for air protection by the Reichsanstalt der Luftwaffe in the early 1930s. With the same degree of protection, high bunkers are cheaper, quicker and can be built with less material than deep bunkers. On October 10, 1940, an immediate Führer program was issued for the establishment of air raid shelters in the German Reich.

About 40 high bunkers. LS special structures No. 1 to No. 40 and eight underground bunkers were built by the Munich City Building Office under the direction of Karl Meitinger until the end of the war.

After the war all bunkers were to be blown up by American orders. There was a lack of accommodation, so the structures were largely preserved.
