Ehemaliger Bunker der Landeszentralbank NRW

Mechernich

closed todayFurther opening hours

The bunker of the Landeszentralbank in Mechernich-Satzvey was planned during the Cold War under a high degree of secrecy and built from 1966 to 1969 under the central school that was later built above it. The nuclear protection bunker was intended to house the top of the Düsseldorf State Central Bank in the "V-case" - the defence case - and to ensure its "functionality". Occupancy and exercises took place in the facility until 1989, and the bunker was abandoned in 1990. Since May 2012, the facility has been open to the public on guided tours.

    The 1250 years old city of Düren can proudly look back on its industrial past, with many enterprises still working worldwide until today. The proverbial wealth of Düren’s entrepreneurial families Schoeller, Hoesch and others in the former “city of millionaires” established a rich patronage tradition with numerous cultural, social and educational institutions, which is portrayed by the exhibition “Düren’s Golden Years, 1871-1914”.
