Underground secrets: Cold War bunker with power still on

[@bwturbex]

We just returned from an exploring road trip in Germany. Our next episode (abandoned Soviet ghost town) will be already an adventure from that journey! Some members of our team are fully vaccinated which means we can launch international projects again very soon! In fact, we are planning to head back to Italy next month to shoot the third season of the fan-favorite urbex series Abandoned Italy! Later, starting in July, we want to do a multiple-week-long road trip to Eastern Europe with a Lada - that will be quite the experience! If you guys have any suggestions for upcoming adventures, want to collaborate, know cool people we should meet, or have any other tips: Please send us a message on Instagram or Facebook, or send us an email: [e-mail]

[@ericdanielski4802]

Maybe you can meet Bald and Bankrupt.

[@bwturbex]

@@ericdanielski4802 Yeah, good idea. Let's see if we find a way to contact him.

[@Tempted_Lotus]

I’m so glad some of you are protected and planning on more videos already 🤗 please stay safe. I hope everyone is able to be vaccinated (if they chose) so we can continue to see your beautiful videos .

[@HabjanDj_1]

I love your vídeos !!!! One kiss !❤️

[@donoester6744]

I did see you comment on one or more of his videos but a meetup with PPPeter would be cool - he can most likely be serious too :-D. What part of Eastern Europe have you been thinking about visiting?

[@nckl]

why do people always destroy these places… they ruining things for everyone and I can understand why owners lock them away from the public.

[@bwturbex]

Yeah absolutely. The owner must have been so pissed off.

[@nckl]

@@bwturbex definitely, I find it frustrating to see these historic places destroyed. I really appreciate the way you guys act around the locations you explore. Always respectful and not causing any trouble, while documenting them for us before they decay completely. Keep it up!

[@Peter-nv3wu]

It's amazing to see decommissioned bunker in this condition, Do you know if it was sold with a "take back clause" if the bunker was needed at some point in the future for "official" use ? It makes no sense whatsoever why some "so called" explorers smash everything they possibly can, then cover the walls with graffiti resulting in the fact that what was once an untouched bunker, is now totally wrecked ! Personally I can't help but feel sorry for the owners when they have to pour concrete into the entrances and exit's in an attempt keep mindless vandals out. Thank you so much for taking us with you !

[@Wistful77]

@@ncklyes, very frustrating. It is only the good explorers like these guys, that we will ever see. Vandals do not record their destructive activities because they know it is wrong. ;]

[@berndbrater9958]

It is not only that. If someone gets injuried on the area, the owner is held accountable for the accident. Best of german law.

[@grannybucks]

It's so unfortunately the ignorance that people have towards these places and destroy them,you guys do great work,I always look forward to your videos!

[@eyiapandora3933]

I like that you showed your safety call as one of your precautions at the beginning of the video. It's a great reminder to explorers.

[@Ganiscol]

Cold War History is my favorite history - because it was a MAD era! I love every Urbex that involves places like this, especially when its not just a trash pile but nearly pristine. Great video! 👌

[@bwturbex]

Yes, fascinating times. This bunker was a true time capsule

[@SandyWolf-]

All their videos are 👍 great

[@Fatvod]

Probably the coolest intro you could have possibly done. Old tube lights are fascinating and it's so cool to watch them arc for the first time in a while.

[@abbeystokoe9230]

This is so interesting to see. Well done guys! It's a shame to see people being reckless when visiting these historical sites. Thank you for educating those you don't understand the importance of conservation

[@WApnj]

Unbelievable.. This should be preserved and maintained for tours and education. I hope the owner respects what he has there.

[@plumbawl5977]

The Opening Scenes were OuTsTanDing! Your Artistic Filming, Music, and Story telling Work is greatly appreciated!

[@robertmanley7556]

Absolutely amazing !! So clean and untouched the power and ventilating system still works😲 Great job guys this is crazy to see !! Shame about the hedge hogs......but not the maggots !!😱 Now about the people who had to flooded this historic place 😠😡.....this is why people have the wrong idea about Urban Exploration and the people who do it !! The people who come to theses places to destroy and vandalize give real explorers a bad name !! The true meaning of Urban Exploration you take nothing except memories and photos and leave nothing except foot prints behind in the dust on the floor !! I truly hope that this will be open to the public again for viewing but didn't sound good ......and I don't blame the owners a few rotten apples ruin it for all !! Great video guys as always love you work look forward to the next video !! 👍👍

[@legionchef]

Love the new episode, keep it up. Best urbex channel on YT.

[@bwturbex]

Thank you, Sam! New videos every other week!

[@donoester6744]

Really great explore guys - as always! Really love the intro with turning on the lights one by one - slowly shedding lights on things that are unknown to majority of people and otherwise forever will be. Being that fresh and aware after only three hours of sleep is something I can only envy, hah.

[@mohamadjefry9412]

Its not 78 years old, thats why :)

[@pandemiesepeter6551]

The third WoldWarBunker stays in Geltow near Potsdam.

[@oldenweery7510]

This is a far cry from the conditions inside der Führerbunker in Berlin! From what I've read, heard, and seen (on TV), it was a dismal place that stank of badly designed plumbing and, except for the chambers for Hitler and his cronies, was about as cheerful as a dungeon. I agree with those who decry the graffiti and vandalism that destroys valuable historic sites like these. Thank you for taking us down to tour this place. I really value your content and am glad you're able to go farther afield now. As always, I wish you good luck in your travels---and please be careful.

Beautiful! And amazing the intact switchboards! I've been once in the Regierungsbunker im Ahrtal. There you also can see how it was in the cold war period. This bunker is partly restored and open for the public.

[@bwturbex]

Those switchboards really were something special! We hope this bunker opens as a museum one day.

[@icascone]

This has been one of your most fascinating videos and the condition is so great!! A lot of people like to see the "abbandoned look" like the rustic look or the "patina" etc... I can see the beauty in that too, BUT for me it is more to do with seeing places where "time has stood still" and it's like "time capsule" I really like that! :)

[@luschu5487]

Just watching this sets off my claustrophobia. I couldn't do what you guys do. Thanks for another great video.

[@bwturbex]

If this triggers your claustrophobia you better not watch our Italian bunker exploration... But if you wanna challenge yourself - here you go. 😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppOndGhsqNqemZI

[@luschu5487]

@@bwturbex Thank you. I did watch it before and the reaction was the same. When you fellows explore factories, churches, or old mansions I'm okay. It's crawling through bunkers and cave-like structures that sets it off. One more reason to sit comfortably watching the videos, lol. Just be careful please lads.

[@mr.ruinenfan8904]

Great explore as always, BWT 👏. The nuclear bunker with all the tecnical equipment (telephone switchboards, systems for supplying with water, eletricity, etc.) and living quarters (nice overnighter) is just fascinating. See you in the next video. Many greetings from Northern Germany to Saxony 👍😊

[@bwturbex]

Thanks for your comment! Would you have spent the night down there as well? ;D

[@AdventurersFortune]

Awesome exploration! Nice to see a bunker from that era with power and still partially equipped. Last year, I explored an abandoned state security bunker in east Germany, the other side of the iron curtain back then. It seemed smaller and not as well equipped as this one.

The few in the usa? Hahaha guess again. There's a shift load of bunkers like this in the United States of varying levels of size and quality. You'd be surprised how many people actually believe nuclear war was coming and either went out on their own to establish small ones or a collaborative mix of resources and made larger ones they're everywhere.

Awesome vid, as usual guys. I am envious you have these cool places to take us with you! That thing you thought was a paper towel burner? It’s a sanitary product incinerator, for “women’s stuff”.

I was always to scared to use them in any case!

Maybe to call for room service? “I need a cup of coffee and some snacks down here.” 🤣😁🤪 Great exploration. Don’t think I’d have been brave enough to sleep down there. I’d be scared of getting locked in. Good move to let someone know where you’d be, just in case a door jammed shut. Very cool place. Could be so educational to teach about the Cold War era.

Umm... so no one is asking how is it powered and power is from coming from where?

@@SI-ln6tc It's clearly connected into the grid. I'm sure they're designed to also run independently on fuels, but they would also rely on grid power in a time of war, only resorting to fuel when needed.

[@thehunter9045]

This is great. But here in the US I found in a field. A manhole cover. At first I thought it was a missile silo but then I went down the ladder and I found a massive 200 thousand square foot bunker partially stocked and with a vehicle exit that had been deliberately collapsed but in the garage was 4 m60a3 tanks and 7 ww2 style Humvees and everything. Ammunition lockers. Personal vehicles like a 65 mustang and a 67 Plymouth Wich both were quite valuable. It was a 3 story bunker that was in great condition I would love to show you guys.

Honestly, after seeing some of the subsequent destruction of the property, it seems like the owner might have planned to restore and open it to the public as a form of exhibit, but he decided against it and just sealed it following the vandalism.
