The Nuremberg bunker and the underground system of tunnels are beneath us. This underground system extends from the school in the square to the imperial castle. Digging cellars in the sandy cliff go back in medieval times. During the reequipment of basements in the nineteenth century, breweries were housed in them. The vaults were partially used for tissue storage. During the war, a bomb shelter and a storehouse of imperial jewels were organized here. Here, the citizens of Nurenberg city experienced the most massive bombardment in February 1945.
