Monumental Nazi-era buildings in Germany have become tourist magnets. The sites, associated with the Nazi regime, have different ways of dealing with their heritage, but is it “dark tourism” or educational tourism?, Deutsche Welle reported.
Every 10 minutes a new group of guided tourists stops at the spot on Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin, where Adolf Hitler killed himself in 1945. There is no visible trace left of the underground bunker.
Today there is just a cemented area next to the Peking Duck restaurant, making it probably the most photographed parking lot in Berlin.
Tourists from the United States, in particular, want to see the “Führerbunker,” says Sabine, a city guide in the German capital.
But people of other nationalities also seek out the place.
The “Führerbunker” drew people’s attention as early as 1945 when it was an unwelcome attraction located in the former Soviet sector of divided post-war Berlin.
