Guys, you got it a bit wrong. ABC is all about Anti-Bacteriological-Chemical warfare and health risks. And "ABC Aufnahme" doesn't mean the recording thereof. ABC Aufname would be the reception/admission area for those afflicted.

[@jaakkoohable]

This bunker is in remarkably good condition. There's barely any rust, no chipping paint or water infiltration issues. It looks like it only needs a quick clean up, new filters for the HVAC and water, and some basic checks, and it's ready for service.

[@mohsinshahidferdous708]

Most German old military places are like that. They can be repurposed in 72 hrs notice. Like the runways and buildings in all closed airbases like Kladow or Templehof are kept in functional order.

Did you notice the red light that was on towards the end on the top of the green switchboard (he turned his torch away to be sure and you can clearly see it's on). So my guess it it's a status light showing the mains power is connected. You'd just need to start flipping switches to turn everything back on.

[@eliotmansfield]

Appreciate the english captions for the signs on the doors etc.

[@rimb9898]

Yea because german be like Ich weiß, der Deutsche ist verrückt

[@BilisNegra]

It is perhaps relatively normal for something isolated from the elements, but it's amazing how clean and pristine the place is almost 30 years after decommission. Hardly any decay. It is of course partly dismantled, some of the stuff removed, but what remains (which is quite a lot) looks really fine.

[@albustanmagic4036]

Its funny to watch your videos...as what today is called URBEX was one of the usual things boys did after school in the 80ies when I was a kid. I had a classmate and together we explored every old building we could reach with our bycicles. Was so exciting ! We explored an old factory, an old monstary, some WW2 bunkers and many empty houses. For one villa, we kept the key to a side door and we made that villa our head quarters for some month. One time, we went to explore at night but police came and we get in trouble with our parents. Well, lovely times back...

[@Ganiscol]

Saw a documentary on this civil defense warning & coordination network last year and one of the former staffers mentioned that it always felt a bit futile waiting for something not to happen as a profession, especially since it would be a pointless endeavor in the event of an all out nuclear war. All they could do then is go down their to-do lists and then "watch" the country (and later the rest of Europe and much of the world) become incinerated in the nuclear fire. They could only be of any use in a very limited conflict, when cooler heads would prevail instead of trying to win something that cant be won... The cold war era is as fascinating as it was frightening! Great explore there! 👌

This exploration with a small flashlight only looks like one of those sketchy horror video games where your light will randomly turn off! Cool atmosphere

great work Bob. definitely appreciate all of the hard work that you put into these videos; this channel should be recognized much more than it is. i know it’ll pay off. best wishes

[@Anrhok]

There are in Fact still a lot of Bunkers in West Germany that are either Abandoned or are still in use for Emergencies. Like in my Town there is an old Abandoned Hospital from the Cold War under a School which you still can see. If you ask the City, they still allow it to see those abandoned Rooms. Or in my old School there also was in the Cellar a small Air Raid Protection Bunker. The Cellar had all normal Doors, but one Door was out of Metal and the Wall was pretty thick and the Ceiling also pretty low. Some Train Stations or Subways have hidden Doors that you cannot see at first, but with closer look you can and behind those Doors are also hidden Bunkers for Emergencies that are still used now.

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

I believe I heard about that school with an underground hospital! Would like to see that too :)

[@Anrhok]

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Its in Dülken, belonging to the City of Viersen. The School is called Förderzentrum West Viersen. Maybe just ask the City and probably its possible =) But tbh last Time I have seen it when you were able to go down there is 6 or 8 Years ago... Update: School has been Demolished and a new Building is on Top. I guess the Bunker has been demolished as well then!

[@Russel4973]

Wow, that bunker is in unbelievable good shape. It's amazing.

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Yes, I have many other epic bunkers on this channel! (A few good ones I had to put offline unfortunately)

[@mattmattelig]

those control panels were great. looks like there was power there with the lit up indicator and light in the below-floor crawl space. very cool episode.

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Thanks again Matt ! :) Currently editing adventures shot in Portugal.

[@dogmannz]

There must be a working sump pump for it to have remained this dry and rust free. You can see a lit indicator light on the green switchboard also.

[@stnullzweiDemoKonto]

Red Light still on? Was there light down that under Floor ,where the dead animals lay down ?

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Yes, lights were still on there 😁

[@matthewb8919]

Crazy how some of these bunkers look like someone could walk in at any moment. The engine room looked like someone was just there and just stood up and left. I suppose someone must maintain some of that equipment.

[@Lone-Wolf87]

So much history lost in the sands of time. So much happened before and now is oblivion. Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@nadieselgirl]

Wow, I'd love to have seen more of that creepy sub basement. How did the critters get in there? Is it open to nature?

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

There might have been some kind of air vent where they fell in. It's located in a small forest/field.

[@Metalstacker]

Interesting explore, nice extra information on this location. I like the eery music on the back ground. This bunker looks in pretty good condition for being defunct of around 25 years. See you on the next video!

[@trailurchin7369]

Do you have an explanation as to why there is so much dust/residue on the floors around 14:00? Was there maintenance done or did someone discharge a fire extinguisher?

[@noahb717]

I would be careful about turning on the lights. Unless that place has sump pumps that run once a while, or a guard patrols and turns on lights once a while - any energy consumption can trigger a warning system that there is somebody actively inside of the place. That's assuming that there is a system setup, which I doubt there is. But as technology improves, I wouldn't be surprised if those systems get setup. It's not hard to do - just send a warning message if power usage spikes, and then if its not anticipated, send a guard to check it out. Often power gets cut off with a lot of abandoned places unless they have to use sump pumps and so forth to "maintain" the place. If a place is not touched often, it can get a "power profile" - i.e. sump pump runs often when it rains often, rarely otherwise else. Great video - just be careful about turning on lights and so forth because power consumption can be measured and can be used as a data point to inform the authorities that somebody might be in that building. Plus depending on vandalism (I've done a data center study on a building that was stripped of its aluminum and copper) - a lot of things could be stripped out, which could lead to power shorts if you turn on something that was cut and shorted out, and that will be a huge spike in energy usage and create a lot of sparks. I've had that happen to me before.

[@juandenz2008]

A system like that could be theoretically be setup, but I think if they were concerned about unauthorized entry it would be easier and more reliable to just setup a standard alarm of some sort. While smart metering is getting installed and becoming more standard, normally it doesn't report back the data in real-time. Instead it gets logged and sent in bursts (such as once per day). By the time the data is collected, collated and analyzed and someone notices it would be far too impractical to be used as a security system. TLDR; Don't worry about turning the lights on. The chance of someone analysing small fluctuations in power demand for security purposes is infinitesimal.

[@Skrap2400]

Thanks bob, great video as always. The bunker is well preserved from copper thieves.

[@jepolch]

That's another really interesting site, Bob. How deep underground was it? It looked like you went down just one flight of stairs to get in.

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

The top level was maybe only 3-5 meters (9-16 feet) underground. There were 3 levels in total.

[@king_bucket]

That crawl space is so weird and creepy. I can understand there being critters that have found their way down there, but why are they all dead? Just strewn about randomly too... it's weird

[@brendakrieger7000]

[@BilisNegra]

Thanks for this excellent chapter, I know you've been feeling understandably distressed by the current situation but hey, you clearly have some A-grade stuff still unreleased. I knew it would the case, but I'm glad to find out first hand and to enjoy it. Cheers!

We’ve got a govt bunker here in west St. Louis. No one really knows about it, it was decommissioned and now the Sheriff uses it as an emergency station. You can see the air vents etc. right in the middle of neighborhood. I’d love to go in.

[@Max-re9kk]

The circulating air is cleaned / purified by the water of those sprinklers. It's for ventilation. You can add additives to the water so the system works more efficient. Second, the water cooles the air off. The heat is transferred from the air to the water, and then the water can cool off in deeper underground tanks. You take the thermal energy from all the generators, electronics, peoples breathing.. out of the air, to the water and then finally out to the relatively cold outside underground surrounding. Of course it's not a filter like you'd use to clean contaminated outside-air, but much more a system to keep the air breathable and safe to use for a longer period of time.
