If you are taking part in a guided tour of the mining bunker, please bring appropriate clothing, as the temperature in our facility is between 10 - 12 degrees.
The roughly 80-meter-long tunnel was excavated in 1943 as a civil air defense shelter for the employees of Schelderhütte, providing protection for up to 800 people during the heavy air raids of 1944 and 1945. After being decommissioned and bricked up in 1948, the bunker was forgotten for decades. In 2005, it was reopened by the Schelderwald Mining and Field Railway Association and converted into a small underground museum. Today, tools, machines, as well as ores and minerals from the Schelderwald document the long tradition of regional mining and simultaneously remind of the destruction of Niederscheld during the war.
A unique relic from the Second World War.
