New point of interest with a special view of the city: the remodelled and greened bunker from the Second World War in the heart of St. Pauli is now open to the public. This powerful building is not only a piece of history, but also a lively centre for culture, nature and hospitality.
From a grey brick to a symbol of change for the better
Originally built as an air raid shelter during the Second World War, the enormous bunker on Heiligengeistfeld has been an integral part of Hamburg's cultural landscape for decades. In the post-war years, it became a creative centre that is home to media companies, award-winning music clubs and the renowned Ensemble Resonanz, which is known for its experimental classical performances.
Free of charge: 360-degree panoramic view over the city from the roof garden
The latest extension has raised the bunker to 58 metres, with five new floors and over 20,000 trees and plants creating almost 10,000 square metres of green space. This innovative project shows how urban environments can integrate nature. Ascend to the breathtaking roof garden, where you can enjoy a 360-degree view of Hamburg. Whether you climb the 335 steps or take the 560 metre 'mountain path' around the bunker, you will be rewarded with spectacular views of the city. This green oasis is open from 7 am to 11 pm in summer and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the view.
Cultural and culinary delights
The REVERB by Hard Rock Hotel occupies a large part of the new space and offers a vibrant atmosphere where art, music and culture come together. The hotel has three artist residencies and hosts various events and performances, making it a centre of creativity and inspiration.
You will find five different catering options on site: Enjoy a coffee with a view at "Constant Grind," experience live music at the three-story bar "Karo & Paul by Frank Rosin," indulge in a delicious meal at "La Sala" or explore rotating menus at the rooftop "Green Beanie."
The Georg-Elser-Halle, a multi-purpose hall that is also part of the bunker, organises concerts, cultural events and sports activities.
A place of remembrance and community
The bunker characterises the image of Hamburg's St. Pauli district. It was and is also an important place for social commitment and commemoration of the terrible crimes of the Nazi era.
