Architecture - New Hamburg landmark - 400 guests at bunker opening
With approximately 400 guests, the opening of the transformed former World War II bunker at Heiligengeistfeld was celebrated - the opening to the public, however, is still ongoing until Friday. During the so-called Pre-Opening on Wednesday evening, guests could discover new attractions such as the hotel, the rooftop garden, and the gastronomy.
"We have managed to fit a lot in here," said private investor and builder Thomas Matzen at the ceremony in the new multi-purpose hall for sports and cultural events. Starting from Friday morning (09.00 hours), everyone can explore Hamburg's new landmark.
The originally 38-meter high Flak bunker was raised by five additional floors to a height of 58 meters and lavishly landscaped. There is a rooftop garden with 4700 plants and a mountain path leading up, which is also lined with many plants, shrubs, and trees in parts. The mountain path in particular has "charmed" him, said Finance Senator Andreas Dressel (SPD) in his speech.
In the new section, the Reverb by Hard Rock Hotel, according to management, has 134 rooms ready for its guests. Part of the concept is also a memorial and information area, which reminds of the history of the building. The bunker was built by forced laborers in 1942.
