Amazing shots. I'm a bit puzzled though by the caption "A hair salon: the only one, for 3,000 people." Like the worst thing about living underground during a nuclear war is the state of everyone's hair.

Quite. And I shouldn't think the ratio of hairdressers to people is far off 1:3000 above ground.

This was a special bunker for members of the government in case of a nuclear war. I guess it's important to have a decent haircut in this situation for public announcments for the people on the surface. It is actually very near where I live, just a few km. But it's closed now, the cost to maintain it were immense.

many thanks for those dunninger those are much better pictures.

there is a rumour a very similar project took place in rudloe manor near bristol/bath but even though i know people who've gone about 1/2 mile under the ground into the tunnel there is not much actual proof it was on such a massive scale

has some good links to photos

there are also bunkers near every council hq in the country, so civil servants and councillors etc could go in and survive a nuclear war if necessary, there are ones near my work in gopel oak, they are knakered now but still there is some furniture etc.

yea i was wondering what that thing was. a mask? a lamp of some sort?

these are great photos and links. i like the bike tunnels.

has anyone linked the BND-Standort Pullach book project yet? although Pullach was the former main headquarters of the BND [?], and not a bunker, the project is interesting because the photographer was supposedly granted unrestricted access after main headquarters were relocated to Berlin.

the link 'The Book' at the bottom of the following page has a few of the photos:
