Bunker from World War II in Wilhelmshaven before monument protection!

Bunker from World War II in Wilhelmshaven before monument protection!

in the heart of Wilhelmshaven, on the site of the historic Tannenhof, is a hidden treasure from the time of the Second World War: a rare air -raid shelter, also known as cardiac broken tunnels. This impressive bunker system could soon be listed, and this causes excitement among the city's prospective history. Holger Raddatz, a passionate hobby historian and member of the interest group to preserve air -raid shelter, sees this step a long overdue recognition of the historical importance of this system.

The decision of the Lower Saxony State Office for the Preservation of Monuments to initiate a procedure for a protection position is a reason for joy for Raddatz. "Finally a success!" Cheers the historian. The authority has recognized the historical relevance of heart breaststalls and announces that there is a public interest in the preservation. These bunkers, named after the designer Hugo Herzbruch, are not only a relic of the past, but also a memorial that recalls the horrors of the war.

But not everything is rosy: Raddatz was alarmed when the non -profit society for parity social work (GPS) announced plans to demolish the old Tannenhof and build a new building there. Fortunately, the bunker in the back of the property is not affected by these demolition plans. "A demolition of the system was not an issue from the outset," explains the GPS, which is probably also due to the cost of a possible disassembly.

Nevertheless, Raddatz remains optimistic and continues to campaign for the preservation of the heartbreak tunnel. He dreams of making the facility accessible to scientific studies and school classes. "The rubble in the facility is a journey through time and a lively memorial for the war," he emphasizes. Raddatz also plans to rename his club in order to put the importance of the bunkers in the region even more into the light. The history of the bunker and its possible protection are not just local topics, but an urgent appeal not to forget the past.
