Historical World War II bunker in Hamm: forced auction for 1 euro!

Posener Straße 1, 59065 Hamm, Deutschland - A historical air -raid shelter from the Second World War in Hamm is offered in a foreclosure on February 21. The market value of the building, which is at Posener Straße 1, was set to a sensational 1 euro. The reason for the auction is the non -fulfillment of the property taxes due by the current owner, as the court spokeswoman Nina Schraml explained. Interested buyers can look forward to a 770 square meter property, which is, however, in a highly "unkempt state", is very likely to have numerous structural defects.

The dark story of the bunker

The building, known as air -raid bunker No. 5, was built in 1941 and served as a shelter during the war. On October 25, 1944, a mass panic occurred in front of the entrance area of the bunker during an air alarm, with several people killed. Between 1940 and 1943, numerous similar high bunkers were built by the city administration of the city administration to protect the civilian population from air strikes. These bunkers, including that on Posener Straße, had walls of up to 1.10 meters thick. Since the end of the war, the bunker has experienced numerous scandals and complaints from residents about neglect and uninvited guests such as rats and drug consumption.

According to the opinion of the district court, immense costs of around 620,000 euros are required for a renovation, which makes the object appear uninteresting from an economic perspective. If the bunker finds a new owner, it remains unclear what use is possible, since other use is also considered uneconomical due to the location and the structural conditions.

In addition, the bunker on Posener Straße will not be the only one who is noticed in public, since other bunkers also gain in importance in the region. A connection to current real estate projects could also exist here how with the bunker on the Viktoriaplatz, which is part of a infidelity process that is currently being negotiated before the Arnsberg district court and concerns several million euros in misappropriation.

The air -raid shelter in Hamm is not only a relic of the past, but also a challenge for city administration and upcoming buyers. The history of this building remains exciting, while the auction is imminent in February.
