Going underground: who’s behind Berlin’s secret subway bedrooms?
- f_allwein 11y agoThere's actually an organization that specializes in tours of Berlin's underground architecture and offers some interesting guided tours (although they probably wouldn't include the subway bedrooms): http://berliner-unterwelten.de/home.1.1.html http://berliner-unterwelten.de/home.1.1.html

- noonespecial 11y agoAt first, the underground workers who stumbled upon this scene in a disused U-Bahn tunnel in Berlin’s Reinickendorf district in mid-January assumed they had encountered an abandoned film set. But checks showed that no film recordings had been applied for in the area. Because no one would build a film set in a disused subway and then abandon it without filing the proper papers!
- askafriend 11y agoTruly hilarious that they assume people actually follow laws down to a T like that. There is much beauty in the world from people not doing so.
- georgeglue1 11y agoDoes anyone have any sense if squatters ever hide elaborate rooms/false walls in public spaces? I've always been fascinated by this...
- personlurking 11y agoI've seen a short documentary about this - urban explorers who squat in unusual places in Europe (I think it was a Nordic country, but I can't remember the title).
