Description
Explore the facilities and technical installations of the nuclear bunker under the main train station. About 2,500 people are planned to stay for two weeks, each with a half a square meter of space.
After the end of the Second World War and the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan, the nuclear arms race was to become a defining feature of the Cold War. How was the population to be protected from this threat? The building of nuclear bunkers was one of the solutions. The nuclear bunker under the main train station of Nuremberg is one such facility. It was intended to protect some of the city’s inhabitants, as well as primarily travellers, from an acute threat. The bunker was also designed to shield against biological and chemical attacks.
One of these facilities is the nuclear bunker in the main train station. Here, in addition to parts of the Nuremberg population, travelers should also find protection from an acute threat. In addition to nuclear attacks, the bunker was also intended to protect against biological and chemical attacks.
Special emphasis is placed on the development of civilian protection since the end of the Second World War. The nature of the new threat, especially the risk of nuclear warfare, led to a rethinking of how to protect the civilian population. Numerous exhibits illustrate the means that were envisaged to confront the dangers.
How can we imagine the destructive force of nuclear weapons? How powerful were the first atomic bombs compared to modern nuclear warheads. A computer simulation gives you an idea of the ominous development of the nuclear weapons arsenal.
Experience what life would have been like in the bunker. Lie down on a pallet or take a seat as you imagine how you would have felt here cooped up with several hundred people.
