The bunker left by WWII



After a several days in Berlin, the old buildings here really left deep impression on me, especially the Sammlung Boros, which is one of the spots of my treasure hunting. It is located on the corner of Albrechtstraße and Reinhardtstraße. The first time I saw it was in the process of treasure hunting. Tiny windows are arranged trimly on each side of the building. The bunker is generally in a cube-shape which looks really huge, especially when I looked at the photo of the bunker and me in comparison, it might be 7 or 8 times taller than the height of me. The light gray wall makes people get intense feeling of the past at the first glance, especially when looked in the sun, a special sense of feeling crowds directly into my mind that the building must have experienced so much through the WWII till now. It’s also easy to notice a huge rock outside one of the iron gates, which are all in the shape of arcuation. I’m not sure whether it is left from the WWII or it’s placed by designer in order to make it looks more artistic since it is now an art gallery. 波洛私人收藏馆(Sammlung Boros)
 
However, it might be hard to realize that such an art gallery which is surrounded by two modern hotels with all those big glassy wall as well as an estate office today can be a bunker left by World War II as tourists just quickly walked by, but when realize it, the feeling is just like to find treasure by chance. We happened to pass by the bunker on our way to the Reichstag, Marilyn and Erica was so surprise to hear that the grey old building near them was actually a bunker left by the war. This is the way how Berlin treats its’ tourists, which I loved so much. Always to surprise people in an unexpected way, sometimes you may see a normal building which looks a bit old, but you may not see how much it experienced through its’ life since when it was built.
