Berliner Tor deep bunker is a deep bunker near Berliner Tor station in Hamburg, Germany. The structure was originally constructed in 1940 by the government of Nazi Germany as a civilian refuge from bombing. The deep bunker had a capacity of 1000 people, and provided refuge from the firestorm caused by Operation Gomorrah, a concerted raid of bombing with incendiary weapons during the allied bombing of Hamburg in 1943 which resulted in over 35,000 deaths. In the Cold War period, it was reused as a nuclear bunker by the post-war West German government, and extensively renovated for that use, with the renovations finished in 1963.
