Today I had a bit of an urban adventure holiday with my friend Martin. We visited Teufelsberg. Teufelsberg is a hilltop place in Berlin where the USA listened to the communications of the Eastern block as best they could. They had these high tech radar towers that were in the weather protected safety of the domes.

For a time there was talk of turning them into luxury condos, but that didn’t pan out.

  • Yes, I was in the US Army and had my little spot in there. We were often short-handed and many times one person would need to do the work of several. Long hours, and few breaks, but I was so fortunate to have met and lived with the German people. Berlin was a treasure!

  • I worked in that facility in 1979-80. Thanks for uploading the video. Some real memories there, and a strange feeling to see it in its current condition.

  • jaja seeeeeehr gefährlich das ganze - haha und ja: fuck hipsters !!!

  • FUCK HIPSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @flamweffer I hope we can find a way to restore or atleast protect it. If I were there I would construct plaques throughout the place with details to what was done there, its importance, and who served there. I would need the help pf those who sevred there ofcourse. Unfortunately I live in the U.S for now. Maybe someone who lives there can help? I may see if there is an organization that can help out.

  • @tsisqua Wow, you worked there? I've been there just lately, astounded of the size of this place. I felt like I could breathe the history, it's a pity there's (naturally) so less information of this to find. I imagined how it was to work there. Amazing place, still so lively but yet so run down...

  • Buckminster Fuller all the way!

    Real Life Delay!

    The Abyss!

  • das ist verboten dort rauf zu gehen du spinner!!!!

  • strange place - looks like something out of a sci-fi movie!

  • I worked there from 88-90, and it really saddens me to see the state of decay, thats become of the site.
