On vacation (back home) in #EastFrisia. Went by bike through #Emden were I went to school. Emden, you gray Bunker City by the sea, you ARE a beauty (on third or fourth sight).
The townscape is still marked by the hulking silhouettes of WW2 bunkers. They withstood the air raids which pounded Emden into bits and pieces and turned out to be too massive to be removed after the war. Some are like weathered rocks jutting from the surroundings, some have been repurposed, „hide“ behind new faces… 1/x
When I walk through the streets of Emden, sometimes I don‘t notice the bunkers at all. Sometimes, the seem to „lurk“ everywhere around. The f****** nazis built the bunkers by drawing on forced labor of enslaved people. Grew up in a small village c 20 Kms north of Emden. When we were kids in the 1980s, old people from the village told us how the whole sky to the south was ablaze when Emden was flattened in 44. some of the picture below, i posted before 2/x
Touring the old bunkers of Emden, lines from an old (and particular eerie) #Turbostaat song (Herbst) pops up in my mind:
Hörst du die leute draussen johlen?
Du bunker wirst nie brennen
Hörst du die züge wieder rollen?
In dieser scheiss dezembernacht...
Hörst du die Wölfe die da heulen?
Und die Bunker brennen nie
@HeyeBodo Nice photos, especially the first one!
@HeyeBodo All of the Bunkers I've been here in #Wilhelmshaven were smaller ones, and the tours were organized by the #NABU to show the various species of bats.

Bunkers to bat caves

Emden has a lot of smaller bunkers to, but then, there are these massive „Hochbunker“ types.
