The Fuchsbau (German: Foxhole) is a military bunker system, located south of the town of Fürstenwalde, Brandenburg, about 55km (34miles) east of Berlin.
The bunker served as Zentraler Gefechtsstand 14 (ZGS-14) ("Central Component Headquarters 14") of the East German Air Force Kommando LSK/LV from 1965 until 1990, when the compound became the headquarters of Bundeswehr's 5. Luftwaffendivision. The facilities were shut down in December 1994, when the 5. Luftwaffendivision was disbanded.[1] [2] With 9000sqm of floor space, 650m (2,130feet) of corridors, and up to 350 personnel, it was one of the largest bunkers in the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
