Underworld Time Travel in the Largest Bunker in Kassel
The tour in the Wine Mountain Bunker connects Kassel's local history with an impressive discovery experience beneath the city. On Monday, July 6, 2026, the historic tunnel complex opens its doors for a history tour that impressively combines beer cellars, air raid protection, and culture of remembrance.
From Ice Cellar to Shelter
The limestone cliffs of Wine Mountain were traversed by tunnels and passages starting in 1825. Initially, Kassel brewers stored ice cut from the Fulda River there in winter, which was used in summer to cool the beer. Later, wine was added, before the facility was converted into an air raid shelter in 1942. Up to 10,000 people found shelter and refuge here during World War II.
History You Can Touch in the Belly of the Mountain
This city tour takes you right into an authentic building that makes Kassel's cultural heritage visible in a special way. Narrow corridors, darker areas, and the massive tunnel complex create a dense atmosphere where the past is not just told but spatially experienced. The tour offers in-depth knowledge about the Wine Mountain, the use of the tunnels, and their transformation into a bunker.
Practical Information for the Tour
Visitors should plan 1.5 to 2 hours for the tour. Entrance is at your own risk. A minimum age of 10 years is recommended, and participants should be circulatory stable and have no issues with narrower or darker spaces. Registration is required, and the price is 5 euros per adult.
