Energiebunker — Attraction in Hamburg

Cool view of the city on all sides (except on the part where the solar panels are - harder to see there much)

I you’re going hoping to also see the inside it’s unfortunately also fees a bit abandoned in terms of people caring for it. You can only go in by tour. They say at the bottom entrance on a panel that there are tours at 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00 every Saturday and Sunday and that tickets can be acquired from the cafe up top.

If you go to the cafe they barely know what you’re talking about. From what they know the tours are only from 15:00, 16:00 and 17:00 and there’s no tickets required.

If you go on the website they specify the same hours as the panel but say that no tickets are needed. So the tours are free.

The schedule is still all over the place. It’s not always as they say on the panel or as the cafe staff said. The website has different hours mentioned sometimes. So check before you go because there’s no other way to know (and you also have to go through 3 different layers of websites to finally get this info)

But yeah. No unified information on site and the website in which you can find the most likely to be accurate info is annoying to reach.

Then on site there’s no clear marked paths you can take or that you are not allowed to take. Yet you’ll get surprised looks when you go in a path that has signs for reaching the cafe but no clear “not that way” signs.

Then do bear in mind it’s only in German on the history boxes they have around it. Translating with an app is mostly understandable. But then I doubt the tours (didn’t get to go since I followed the on site printed info…) would be in English so the only benefit of them will be to be able to see the inside.

All in all good for the view but somewhat...

This is clearly its own building, which cannot be compared to anything else. This actually also applies to the original history (hopefully it will remain as much as possible with history, although that is very, very unfortunately already a somewhat outdated message for our common world). Outside and inside the building, cubes provide the necessary information about the original destination, the decades of vacancy that followed and the current use as an energy bunker.

However some cubes on the outside are very badly affected...

It looks amazing, and we travelled quite a way especially to see it. We were then very disappointed to find that although both on internet and at the entrance door it says it is open on Fridays from 12:00 ,it was closed. We arrived just at twelve and hung around for 40 minutes, but it stayed closed. Other people arrived , hung around and left while we waited. To say we were disgusted is an understatement. If they cannot communicate better than this they need to find...
