Hey everyone!

St. Pauli Bunker or Hamburg Bunker, no matter what you used to call it, forget it! It doesn't really matter anymore, introducing to you: the Green Bunker. Who could imagine that such a big and strong construction like this WWII Nazi Bunker in Germany could turn into a beautiful rooftop garden with stunning views, restaurants, and even a hotel? That`s right!

I'm super excited to share this exclusive first look at one of the most anticipated new attractions: the transformed WWII bunker in Hamburg, Germany, now known as the Green Bunker! 🌿✨

In this video, I take you inside the newly renovated bunker and show you the breathtaking rooftop garden that’s set to become a new hotspot in Hamburg. This is an early and exclusive sneak peek before the official public opening on July 5th. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this!

What to expect when visiting the renovated Hamburg Bunker:

- Beautiful rooftop garden with 23,000 trees
- Panoramic views of Hamburg, including the Elbphilharmonie, Michel, and the harbor 🏙️

The project, led by investor Thomas Matzen, added five new floors and extensive landscaping, costing around 60 million Euros.
The bunker now includes a hotel, restaurants, a bar, a café, and public spaces for culture and leisure.

Was this really a World War 2 Bunker? Yep! Quick Facts:
The St. Pauli Bunker, built-in 1942 during World War II, was one of Hamburg’s two “flak towers,” designed by forced laborers for air defense and propaganda under Nazi rule. Its massive concrete structure offered shelter to up to 25,000 people during bombing raids, showcasing the regime's strength and deterring war weariness among civilians.

After the war, plans to demolish the bunker were reconsidered due to its robust construction and potential risks to nearby neighborhoods. Instead, facing post-war housing shortages, it was repurposed to house local residents displaced by bombings.

Today, the St. Pauli Bunker stands as a protected monument and a vibrant cultural center. Home to art studios, music venues, and community events, it honors its past while serving as a creative hub. Efforts by organizations like Hilldegarden aim to preserve its history through educational initiatives and memorials, ensuring its legacy is accessible to all.
