Germany to turn metro stations, offices, and public buildings into bomb shelters.

Sharing is Caring!

Germany is preparing to convert metro stations, offices, and public buildings into bomb shelters amid rising fears of war with Russia. The Federal Office for Civil Protection is identifying suitable structures and developing an app to guide the public to nearby shelters.

This shift follows Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and heightened threats toward countries supporting Kyiv. Germany, with a population of 84.4 million, currently has only 579 public shelters, accommodating just 500,000 people. Authorities are also urging citizens to establish home shelters, such as fortified basements.

Andrea Lindholz, a CDU MP, stated, “Even though we hope that this situation doesn’t arise, we must be prepared to protect the public in the event of an emergency.” Officials acknowledge that building a comprehensive bunker network could take decades, necessitating immediate solutions.

Germany dismantled much of its bunker infrastructure in 2007, deeming it unnecessary. However, escalating geopolitical tensions have forced a reconsideration, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced civil defense measures.
