The bunker was secretly built under a hotel; there was already a bar back then, which has now been rebuilt.
In 1980 the hotel was sold and the new owner discovered the bunker underneath; it was supposed to be blown up, but Jean Luc Labauer bought the house from the developer and thereby prevented the bunker from being destroyed.

Anyone who was captivated by the film 'Das Boot' will also be interested in this museum. Unfortunately, it is one of the few ways to find out about the German submarine war, as you do not have access to the original locations (or film locations). The huge submarine bunker can only be viewed from a distance on the port area, which is not open to the public.
