It's a "Hochbunker", a peculiarly German type of construction, buildings that were built exclusively to protect people from bombings and unlike other such shelters (like those underground) they were indeed considered completely bomb-proof.
This one stills here because their demolition was very expensive and involved damage to adjacent buildings.
Not only it's an interesting collection of art but the building itself. Built in 1942 it was occupied by the Soviets in 1945, during the GDR was called the "Bananabunker" as they used to store fruit. During the 90's became a techno club ending in 2003 to be acquired by the Boros family to house his private art collection.
There have been some alterations inside the building , as removing some ceiling s to give more height to the rooms ( ceilings are usually of 2.20 mts ) and the owners superloft at the top of the building .
If you come Berlin to is well worth a visit . This Can Only Be reserved on the web , WHERE you will find much more information:
Sammlung Boros.

recently went to visit the Boros Collection, a collection of private art which has its headquarters in a bunker located in the area of \u200b\u200bMitte.
This is a "Hochbunker", buildings that were built solely to protect people from bombings and unlike other such shelters (such as those below ground) these were considered resistant to bombs. It is a construction that is made only in Germany. This is here because their demolition was very expensive and involved damage to adjacent buildings.
is not only interesting collection of art but the building itself. Built in 1942 it was occupied by the Soviets in 45, during the GDR was called the "Bananabunker" as used to store fruit. During the 90 became a techno club ending in 2003 to be acquired by the Boros family place that has established his private art collection.
There have been some reforms in the building, such as removing some ceiling to give more height to the rooms (as of 2.20 spaces were high mostly) and superloft owners in the top of the building.
