Berlin Underground Tours – Secret City War Bunkers and Escape Tunnels

Berlin underground tours are an alternative way to understand the city’s complex history, where you can view war bunkers and escape tunnels in what are now disused metro stations. 

With Berlin known for its alternative scene and unravelling of a dark past, this is a different way of seeing it. 

When researching my trip there I came across the Berlin Underworlds Association (Berliner Unterwelten) – a society for the exploration and documentation of subterranean culture. They provide expert tours of the city’s underground linked to various moments of its history, citing to “experience the history of Berlin from an unconventional perspective.” 

The Berlin Underworlds Association has been offering Berlin tunnel tours for around 15 years, so they know exactly what they are doing when it comes to the important underground structures in the city. You won’t get stuck or lost, or be breaking any laws when it comes to the exploration of abandoned areas. This has all been curated and set up exclusively.

Where Does the Berlin Underground Tour Begin?

When do the underground tours run, underground tours prices, escaping via the sewage system, escaping via the east berlin u-bahn underground stations, from underground to overground , berlin underground bunker tours, virtual tours of underground berlin, beneath berlin – understanding history , what berlin underground tours can you go on.

From war bunkers and air-raid shelters to the remains of an anti-aircraft fortress, subterranean Berlin plays host to a wealth of history. You might find it hard to choose which tour to go on, although a lot of your choice will be dependent on what tours are running on the given day.

There are currently four underground Berlin tours available:

  • Tour 1: Dark Worlds
  • Tour 2: From Flak Towers to Mountains of Debris
  • Tour 3: Cold War Nuclear Bunkers
  • Tour M: Under the Berlin Wall

I decided on Tour M, which at the time was called Breaching the Berlin Wall: Subterranean Escapes from East Berlin to West Berlin and which this article focuses on, with an overview of the main things you get to learn about and what an underground tour encompasses generally. 

Photography is not allowed, which is why I am using images granted for use by the Berliner Unterwelten.

The majority of the tours start in or near the Gesundbrunnen station in the north of Berlin city centre and they last approximately two hours.

The main season for tours is April – October and they run from Monday – Friday between 10 AM – 4 PM and on Saturday, Sunday and National Holidays between 9 AM and 4 PM. 

You can check the website for further details and view the calendar of dates and times on the homepage . 

Surprisingly, the tours to this secret part of Berlin are relatively inexpensive.

– Tour 1, 2 and 3 are €15 

– Tour M is €18 

– The Exhibition, “Myth of Germania” is €6

Do note: The BerlinWelcomeCard is not valid for the tours but for the exhibition “Myth of Germania”.

The Berlin Wall Escape Tunnels

Many attempts were made to escape from East Berlin to the West via man-made tunnels dug deep underground, where everything from reinforcements to lighting and ventilation had to be taken into consideration.

The first tunnel was dug in December 1961 and the last one in 1985, four years before the borders were opened. Of course, some attempts had devastating consequences, when uncovered by the East German secret police (Stasi), but others were successful. The determination resulting in the same people risking their lives to dig another tunnel in a different location months later to help others.

The sewer channels were also used as escape routes, even though the Stasi had put preventative measures in place with grating systems. Initially, the grating was a square shape within the circle of the tunnel meaning there was just enough space to squeeze under – through the sewage.

The Stasi later installed oval-shaped grating and then used measures to cover the space completely. Many West Berlin students had great escape operations in place using the sewage systems to help their friends trapped in the East.

However, when escaping this way, someone had to be the ‘lid man’ with the promise of being able to go down into the hole another time. In the room underground was a manhole cover, the same as the ones you see in the city today and what would have been in use back then. The lights were turned out as if to create the atmosphere of nighttime escape and two strong guys were asked to carefully and quietly lift the heavy lid.

No problem at all, but putting it back? A disastrous mixture of the wrong balance, uneven weight and constant clanging noise. Back then, they would have been caught instantly and killed. It puts into perspective how difficult these escapes were with the Stasi on the lookout right around every corner.

The inside of a dug out escape tunnels underground in Berlin, with three huge buckets filled with debris.

With the construction of the Wall, U-Bahn lines in East Berlin were severed in their connection to the West. But as the East got poorer the two West Berlin lines (the U6 and U8) that ran through East Berlin were ‘rented out’ to the West, allowing them to pass through the East Berlin metro stations without stopping.

We were told about how people cleverly hid among the tracks and side walls ready to jump on passing trains and how the guards on the Eastern side would defect and while on duty, use this route as a means to escape.

When the Stasi lost too many men they eventually locked guards on duty in a room with a small window looking out towards the tracks. Any signs of escapees would have to be called through to a superior, by which point it was probably too late to catch them.

One of the most fascinating parts of the tour was wandering along a huge underground corridor only to emerge from a side door on the wall of the underground station, which most people probably walk past daily and don’t give a second’s thought as to what lays beneath. 

From there you are taken via the metro to my much recommended Berlin Wall viewing site, Bernauer Strasse, where more than seven escape tunnels were attempted within a short distance of just 350 meters of each other. This is also where two of the most successful Berlin Wall escape tunnels were constructed.

Photo exhibitions form much of the tour when underground in what is a former civil defence shelter and it brings the stories to life. You will catch a glimpse at a room that formed part of an air-raid shelter on the Berlin tunnels tour, although you will have to take the underground bunker tour (Tour 3) to delve more into that part of the history and see what relics of these hideouts are left.

Thousands were built in the city to provide safety and despite being able to see one, it’s still unknown how many more exist that have yet to be found. 

For those who don’t have the time for the tour or who want to see a reconstruction of what the bunkers that no longer exist look like, the Berlin Underworlds Association run virtual guided tours . You can learn more about the Drivers’ Bunker, the Speer Bunker, the Goebbels Bunker and the Führerbunker, supported by historical overviews, construction plans and interviews with historians and witnesses. 

The cost for the virtual tours is €9.50 and lasts approximately one hour.

What lies beneath Berlin is well worth viewing. We take riding a metro system for granted without realising how instrumental it was for those planning escape, those seeking shelter and those harbouring secrets.

The guide was both passionate and knowledgeable about the history and expertly clued up on the facts, figures and questions presented by the city’s complex history. To condense Berlin’s history into sizable parts that you can understand is commendable. I even met locals who had said they had wanted to take this tour for the past 10 years to better understand their past. 

Not only do you get to grips with the city’s history, but you get to learn about it from a truly interesting perspective and to understand a complex time in modern history in that way is priceless. 

Many thanks to the Berlin Underworlds Association for allowing me the opportunity to attend one of their tours.

I just did the underground tour last week, it was pretty cool! I also recommend that you check out the abandoned brewery near Schöneweide station (which you have to sneak in), and also the Stasi museum.

Berliner Unterwelten – Berlin Bunker Tours

hip berlin underground tour

This post is about Berlin's underground bunkers and air raid shelters built by the Nazi government during WW2, and by the West Berlin government after the war, and how you can tour them.

We also cover tours of an escape tunnel during the time of the Cold War and the Berlin Wall.

  • Tours in English
  • Mythos Germania
  • Third Reich + W W 2 B e r l i n Sights
  • How to Find Hitler's Bunker

Like many cities, Berlin has a hidden life under the surface.

The sewage system, gas, water electricity, the subway, pneumatic tubes – and in the case of Berlin the air raid shelters and bunkers from World War II.

And visitors to Berlin can take a bunker tour to discover this hidden network of tunnels and shelters underground.  

Tours are offered by the organization "Berliner Unterwelten e.V.", an organization consisting of about 350 members of diverse professional backgrounds.

hip berlin underground tour

These members research and make the underground bunkers accessible to the public by giving tours in various languages, offering an exhibit as well as through publications.

Their focus is on World War II and the Berlin Wall.

Even though the Berlin Wall is far from being subterranean architecture, escape tunnels  - more than 70 – played an important role in people’s way to freedom.

Not all bunkers are accessible anymore, for example, Hitler’s bunker  has been excavated and filled in and is located underneath what is today a parking lot.

If you decide to go there, a bilingual information board helps to understand when, why, and how the bunker was built.

The board was installed by “Berliner Unterwelten  - Berlin Underworlds”.

Be sure to check out our list of Berlin walking tours .

WHERE DO THE BUNKER TOURS START FROM?

The headquarters of Berliner Unterwelten and the start of the most popular bunker tour is near the transportation hub “Gesundbrunnen” (with U-Bahn-and S-Bahn station) ( map ).

If you exit from the S-Bahn station, it'll be to your left. It's located right next to the U-Bahn station.

Just follow the signs for “Berliner Unterwelten”.

The U-Bahn (subway) station was built before the war and parts of it then transformed into an air-raid shelter.

There is the permanent exhibition “ Mythos Germania ” about Hitler’s and Albert Speer’s (Hitler’s favorite architect) plans for the urban renewal of Berlin in the Third Reich with a lot of oversized buildings.

The exhibit is open April thru November and December 26 through January 10 (closed on New Year’s Day) from 11 am to 6 pm (last entrance 5 pm) and is EUR 6.00 for adults.

Several reviewers feel that this is a wonderful opportunity to see some of the most significant buildings in Berlin.

Even if you're not well-versed in the history of this city, your tour guide will provide a plethora of information about each location.

Several visitors recommend that you arrive early for these outings because they sell out quickly.

Excellent Tour Guides

A majority of guests who leave positive reviews are most impressed by their tour guides. Several comments indicate that they are not only friendly and helpful but also very informative.

Some visitors were surprised to find that their guide was actually very funny, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. 

Historical Simulation

On some tours, this company provides a simulation of what life was like during wartime.

Other tours simulate life in a bunker, giving their guests a taste of what life might be like during a nuclear war.

Getting the chance to see and experience what these bunkers were built for can be very enlightening, and some visitors felt that it made history come alive.

Effective Storytelling

In addition to the military history tied to the locations featured on these tours, guides will also tell stories about real people who were affected by either WWII or the Cold War.

Both events displaced a lot of families and put several people in peril; guests really appreciate the opportunity to hear their stories and discover what life was like for some of the citizens of Berlin.

Things to know before taking the bunker tours:

Berlin bunker tours

Please note: The tours cover difficult periods of German history and are conceived for adults.

They are recommended for youths aged 14 and older. Children under 7 are not admitted; parents’ discretion is asked for children aged 7 to 14.

As the tours are not in a museum, but in the real underworld, toilets are not provided. Make sure to use one before starting the tour.

The shopping mall Gesundbrunnen-Center right next to the train station has restrooms.

And please, wear sturdy footwear (no sandals, no flip-flops) and take a sweater – even in summer, the underworld is very chilly.

Also, a small selection of tours also runs during the winter.

Hear the testimonies of the individuals who tunnelled to freedom. Ever because the SED regime erected the Berlin Wall in August 1961, there had been repeated tries to cross the deadly barriers via the urban sewer system or self-dug tunnels, for that reason having access to freedom. The first tunnel venture "ran" in October 1961, the last failed in 1982.

What are the 5 Best Underground Clubs in Berlin?

Talking about clubbing in Berlin – especially when it comes to the famous underground electronic music clubs that attract many visitors (locals, as well as tourists) year by year and that constitute a key element of the local economy – the frequently asked question will be: How to get into Berlin clubs? 

But what is it about Techno and House Music in Berlin…? 

Techno and House Music in Berlin: A brief historical outline

To better understand the historical and social importance of this subculture in the German capital, we have to go back to a drastic event that took place on August 12th, 1961 , when overnight the checkpoints from East to West Berlin were closed by the East German military and the Berlin Wall was erected. 

From one day to the next, people couldn’t visit their friends and family anymore that lived on either side. A life-changing event that politically and economically divided German brothers and sisters into a communist and a capitalist concept of Germany, after the incomprehensible experience of the administrative mass murder committed by the Nazi terror regime. 

For almost 30 years, the German people were being divided and became the plaything in a global, imperialist conflict that later on historians would call the Cold War. And for almost 30 years, there was no shared culture or subculture among East and West Germans, or East and West Berliners. 

I’ve Been Looking for Scheiße: David Hasselhoff and the fall of the Wall

The fall of the Berlin Wall happened almost as rapidly as its construction–when on November 9th, 1989–protestors were flocking to the checkpoints and were fortunately not greeted with gunshots by the East German military (even though it had the command to shoot). The first checkpoint to open back then was at Bornholmer Straße in Prenzlauer Berg.

(And no, it wasn’t David Hasselhoff that made the Wall come down, but rather civil rights movements in the GDR and a politic-economic crisis of the Socialist Bloc.)

The Transition Period

The historically unique transition period or liminal phase of Berlin (and Germany)–between November 9th, 1989 until October 3rd, 1990–when the Reunification process was finally formalized–opened up a whole new world of physical, as well as cultural spaces, for novel movements that came to embody the revolutionary and free spirit of the early 1990s. During this time, these spaces were shared and co-created by Berliners (and Germans) from either side.

A lot of real estate, factory buildings, and warehouses within (now former) East Berlin that previously were state-owned (the concept of private property wasn’t existent in Communist Germany), at least for a certain period of time, didn’t belong to anyone anymore. 

As a result of this political limbo, mostly young people and cultural dissidents (many also from the West) came to the East and appropriated these predominantly industrial spaces, squatted them, and organized parties and raves that came to be famous all over Germany. 

Reunification on the Dance Floor

It was a general mode of “figuring things out” and a DIY mentality of that time that gave birth to a strong subculture, which until this day, plays an important role in the cultural landscape of the city. 

Influenced by an emerging and predominantly Black techno and house music scene from the United States, originating mainly from cities like Detroit and Chicago in the 1980s, Berlin became the epicenter of Europe’s dance music culture. 

For the first time after almost 30 years, it didn’t matter whether you came from the East or the West. What mattered was that “Ossis” and “Wessis” shared the dance floor and were reunited in the collective experience of a trance induced by the hammering and repetitive bass line of the music (and for some also induced by mind-altering substances like Ecstasy). 

And that’s the heritage that underground electronic music clubs in Berlin still carry to this date, although in a certainly more commercialized manner.

The 5 Best Underground Clubs in Berlin – Our Personal Favorites

The famous underground techno and house music clubs are still for the most part located in the former East of Berlin. In the following, we’ll recommend some of our personal favorites to check out.

Berghain (why not Hainberg or Kreuzhain?): Why is Berghain so hard to get into and how is it pronounced? 

hip berlin underground tour

As the most famous and notorious nightclub in the world, Berghain is a mystery in itself. Known for its strict door policy, here, many egos have been hurt and the self-esteem of many people has been put into question. 

My advice for people who think less of themselves since having gotten rejected by the bouncers at Berghain: read some of the books of Eckhart Tolle . He will not tell you how to get in, but how to get out of an egocentric mindset that takes everything too personally.

At the Berghain door, you have about 10 seconds to answer a few generic questions asked by the bouncers like “Wie viele?” (How many?), “Woher kommst Du?” (Where are you from?), or “Wer spielt heute?” (Who is playing tonight?). Then you’ll enter the stage of psychological warfare with the bouncer. Your reaction will determine the outcome of your Berghain experience in a split second. Enjoy the ride!

The core of the club is the LGBTQ community and it started as a sex and fetish club mainly for gay men. That is why they clearly won’t let a bunch of drunk “bros” in there. 

Berghain aims to create a safe space and represents an alternative (and idealist) conception of a world where nobody cares who you love–especially in a still conservative and heteronormative country like Germany which only legalized gay marriage in October 2017. 

Berlin is by far the most liberal and tolerant city in Germany and is different from other German cities in many regards. That’s the reason why we love it here so much and that’s why the city is the main hub for the LGBTQ community in the world boasting one of the world’s largest PRIDE events. 

The word “Berghain” is a hybridization that consists of the endings of the two respective districts where the club is located: Friedrichs hain and Kreuz berg . Hainberg or Kreuzhain clearly would have been a good choice as well if you ask me. 

Technically, Berghain is located in Friedrichshain, so on the side of former East Berlin. But since 2001 these two districts form one single administrative unit that, back then, was divided by the Wall and linked by the famous checkpoint at Oberbaumbrücke .

Once you get in (and yeah, dressing in black, leather, and latex might help), you’ll get a taste of the best underground techno and house music in the world. Check out the carefully selected lineup every weekend for their famous Klubnacht (club night), which would probably cost you 5 times as much in other capital cities around the world. The Klubnacht goes from Saturday night until usually Monday at noon, non-stop. 

On the bottom of the old building complex is the actual Berghain floor, where the focus is on fast, sometimes hypnotic, and deep techno, which corresponds very well with the industrial charm of the surroundings. 

If you need a break from the vibrating sound, get some ice cream (yes, they actually sell ice cream there). 

On the top floor is the so-called Panoramabar. Here, the music is a bit slower, and the best underground DJs in the world play amazing and danceable house music and disco. This is the floor to be for sunrise, as they sometimes open the blinds, ever-so-slightly, to let the rays flood the floor. 

Sisyphos: How I Met Your Mother

hip berlin underground tour

“ Sisyphos !” That would be the answer if I needed to explain to my kids how I met their mother. 

This playground for adults has a particular sentimental value for my wife Margot and me since that’s where we first met (thanks to Gel Abril who put my wife Margot on the guest list and kind of urged her to come to see him playing that day on their beach. Also, thanks to my dear friend Eric who managed to remember Margot’s Facebook name). 

The history of this club begins in 2008 when a local artist collective took over an old factory for dog treats in the district of Lichtenberg, more precisely, Rummelsburg.

Sisyphos is particularly famous for having parties that sometimes last 6 days, non-stop, and for their spacious, circus-like open-air area. Being there feels more like being at a festival than being in a club, and for us, it’s by far the best club in Berlin for partying in the summertime. They even sell delicious pizza and toothbrushes at their kiosk, so that you can keep on partying with a good taste in your mouth.

From more experimental, down-tempo music, to house and harder techno sounds in the Hammerhalle (name of the main floor inside), Sisyphos is a must for every lover of electronic music. 

We recommend you go there in the morning after a few mimosas and a good brunch to avoid standing in line for 4-5 hours (I speak from experience here). Going there at primetime on Saturday night inevitably will leave a bad taste in your mouth (that’s probably why they sell toothbrushes inside). 

Kater Blau: The Cat Against Goliath

hip berlin underground tour

Kater Blau is the successor of the infamous Bar 25 and Kater Holzig, located in Friedrichshain near Ostbahnhof (a train station, back then called Schlesischer Bahnhof). 

The club was founded in 2014 almost at the same location where once people were dancing their feet off at Bar 25. With the help of Swiss investors, the collective acquired the premium real estate along the river Spree. The club demonstrated for the first time in the history of Berlin that a (sub-)cultural institution (and therefore the people) could outbid a big corporation. 

Kater Blau is closely connected to the Holzmarkt 25 area, an entry-free, subcultural village that is in itself a groundbreaking political statement against the progressing displacements and closures of cultural venues in the city. 

The two main floors inside of Kater Blau will deliver an array of underground techno and house music, and at times more experimental sound and live performances as well. 

Parties will usually take place here from Friday night to Saturday afternoon–then there will be a short period of closing time to clean up and prepare for the next event–which normally goes from Saturday night to Monday afternoon or evening.

Tresor: Berlin and Detroit Alliance

hip berlin underground tour

The club Tresor counts as the oldest Berliner techno and house music club (first opened in 1991) and where the before-mentioned, free spirit of the early 1990s that characterized Post-Wall Berlin, was manifested.

Founded first in the vault of an old department store at Leipziger Straße 126 near Potsdamer Platz by techno visionary and cultural activist Dimitri Hegemann , it also became the central connecting point of the techno alliance between Berlin and Detroit, that continues to live on to this day.

The club had to close in 2005 due to an expired, short-term rental contract. Fortunately, it was resurrected in 2007 in a tract of an old power plant in Berlin-Mitte, which is nowadays a unique event location called Kraftwerk . (Check out their ongoing exhibition about Techno. Berlin und die große Freiheit !).

The door policy is rather relaxed compared to Berghain, for instance. The less-rigorous doormen and doorwomen make the club more suitable for tourists that want to get a glimpse of the Berlin techno scene, without having the emotional stress of getting rejected at the door.  

Nevertheless, the lineups at Tresor are anything but touristy. You will be sure to enjoy well-selected techno music in the bunker downstairs and always amazing house music at the Globus Bar upstairs.

Again, we recommend going early in the morning around 5:00 or 6:00 to prevent waiting in the queue. 

://about blank: The Radical Left Amongst the Berlin Clubs

hip berlin underground tour

Last but not least, we highly recommend you visit ://about blank . This venue is known throughout the Berlin underground scene for its strong, leftist political identity and self-conception that is always publicly communicated. 

Close to one of Berlin‘s busy public transfer points, S-Bahn station Ostkreuz in Friedrichshain, it is very conveniently located. 

The door policy here can be at times a bit difficult and selective. The collective that runs the club attempts to create an inclusive safe space for all kinds of sexual orientations, ethnic groups, and genders, in order to deconstruct existing power structures and fight relentlessly against any form of discrimination. It is definitely worth trying if you go there with the right attitude and an open mind. 

We recommend going there in the summertime to enjoy their huge outdoor space and listen to some good electronic music while laying on their chill beds which are scattered all over the garden.

But how do I get into Berlin’s Underground Electronic Music Clubs? 

To sum it up, there is no general rule on how to get into Berlin‘s most famous underground nightclubs. It always depends on the energy that you bring to the table.

One thing is for sure: don’t go in large groups with drunk people and always try to be yourself. And since all of the mentioned clubs will put a sticker on your mobile phone cameras at the door anyways, please don’t take pictures or videos once you’re inside. Sometimes it’s better to be in the moment and, coming back again to Eckhart Tolle, try to appreciate the now.

And if you don’t like techno and house music at all, there are many great alternatives, with the many types of musical genres that the city has to offer.  (If you decide to go in a large group with drunk people, maybe try to go to Matrix Club ).
