Bunkermuseum Schlei: following signals in a Seeburg bunker

Bunkermuseum Schlei focuses on communication and aircraft observation. In the Seeburg bunker, information from radio and radar signals was processed and passed on to other units.

From signal to position

The display covers how incoming information was analysed. With radio and radar components, look at which step they support: receiving, interpreting or passing on. This makes an abstract communication network more concrete.

The Seeburgtisch

A glass map table with illuminated aircraft positions forms a clear centrepiece. See how a three-dimensional air situation was shown on a flat surface and which information necessarily had to be selected in the process.

The bunker as an instrument

The building itself was part of the technical chain: protection, workspace and communications came together here. Note the layout and sightlines, but bear in mind that the present museum fittings were added later.

Before you go

An older notice mentioned a temporary closure, while more recent research-card information gives regular hours again. So check the current blog or VVV (tourist office) just before you set off.
