Exploring NAZI-GERMAN SUBMARINE BUNKERS from WW2

INTRO A grey and rainy Sunday feels fitting for a visit to a darker chapter of history. Join me as we explore Dora 1 and Dora 2, two massive WWII submarine bunkers built by German forces during the occupation of Norway. These colossal structures are a stark reminder of the past, showcasing incredible wartime engineering and their intended role in dominating the North Sea. After exploring the Dora 1, we’ll take a walk through Nyhavna, a neighborhood that has evolved from its industrial roots into a dynamic area for creativity and culture. Along the way, we’ll encounter a sauna tucked into the urban landscape, the triangular Spissbunkers built during WWII, the towering oil platform Albuskjell 2/4 F, and the fascinating Mouthpiece Megaphone installation. Finally, we’ll return to Dora 1 and conclude our walk at Dora 2. 🎧 Immerse yourself in Trondheim's atmosphere with natural walking sounds—best enjoyed with headphones!

Built during World War II, Dora 1 was a fully operational submarine bunker, while Dora 2 was never completed. These structures were key components of the Marinewerft and Ubootstützpunkt Drontheim, one of the most significant Kriegsmarine installations in Norway. The bunkers were intended to anchor what would have been the largest naval base in Northern Europe, designed to dominate the North Sea. Their immense size and reinforced concrete construction—3.5-meter-thick roofs and 3-meter-thick walls—meant they couldn’t be demolished after the war without risking significant damage to Trondheim. Engineering Feat What’s even more impressive is the engineering behind the bunkers. They were constructed on a raft foundation, spreading their weight across a wide area to prevent sinking into the soft ground near the fjord. This innovative design allowed the bunkers to remain stable despite their massive size and the challenging conditions beneath them. NYHAVNA Moving on from the historical Dora bunkers, we step into Nyhavna, a dynamic area that has been reimagined for the present. While it was once an industrial hub, Nyhavna is now a gathering place for creative work, performing arts, and cultural activities. From galleries and studios to spaces like HAVET, which combines a sauna, cultural events, and dining, Nyhavna is a testament to how history and modernity can coexist. Spissbunkere While exploring Nyhavna, you’ll notice the Spissbunkers—triangular-shaped bomb shelters built early in World War II. Interestingly, construction wasn’t finished until 1944, by which point the bombings of Trondheim had already ceased. As a result, these bunkers were never used for their intended purpose but remain as relics of wartime planning and preparation. You’ll also notice the towering oil platform structure from the Albuskjell 2/4 F platform, a piece of North Sea history donated to Trondheim Maritime College in 1983. *SOUND* 🎧 Immersive Walking Soundscapes: Best experienced with headphones for a close-to-binaural sound journey.
