A must-see<\/a>: \u00a0the Government Bunkers. \u00a0Well, except for the fact that English-language tours are only available for groups, by prearrangement. \u00a0My original description of the site is here<\/a>; the short version is that this is the location that was the \u201csecure location\u201d at which top German government officials, and 3,000 people altogether, were to be protected in the case of an actual or threatened nuclear attack, for up to 30 days.<\/p>\n

This site ought to be the premier site for understanding, and thinking about, the Cold War. \u00a0As it is, it\u2019s run by the local history association, with tours given by volunteers who also devote their time to learning more about the history of the site, and with consequently limited opening hours. \u00a0It wasn\u2019t in our guidebook, only in a brochure at the vacation rental apartment. \u00a0But it sure ought to be better known, and it\u2019s easy to access from Bonn (1\/2 hr by car), Cologne\u00a0(1 hr), and even Frankfurt (2 hours), and, Germany\u2019s train system being what it is, you can get there without a car, say as a side trip on business travel, if you\u2019re willing to walk a bit. \u00a0Heck, if there were demand, it shouldn\u2019t be that hard to put together a podcast so that an English-speaker could join a German-language tour.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here are some photos.<\/p>\n

Attention! \u00a0Danger of death! \u00a0If light is blinking and horn sounding, do not cross the markings on the floor! \u00a0\u2014 lest a thick concrete door automatically close on you.<\/p>\n
