At 58 metres tall – just a little taller than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but with considerably more heft – the St Pauli bunker in Hamburg, Germany, has dominated the city skyline for more than 80 years since it was built in World War II under the Nazi regime.
Built this concrete hulk has had a surprising rebirth. The relaunched Hamburg Bunker is now packed with two restaurants, a five-storey Hard Rock Hotel and a newly built pyramid-like rooftop bar and garden.
