Bunker Museum (Lasch Bunker)
Музей «Блиндаж»
The underground command post where German commander Lasch signed the surrender on April 9, 1945, now a museum of the battle.
The bunker lies about 7 meters underground near the university in the city center. It was the command post of General Lasch, commander of the German fortress of Königsberg at the end of World War II. On April 9, 1945, he signed the surrender here, ending the Battle of Königsberg. The museum keeps the narrow passages and rooms, displays battle models, weapons and documents, and has recreated the room where the signing took place. Exhibit labels are mainly in Russian. The entrance is inconspicuous, at the foot of steps in a small park. Admission is cheap, and the museum is often closed on Mondays.
