Bergegger emphasized that security can no longer be taken for granted and that a joint effort between the federal government and local governments is needed to protect the German people. One of the key areas of this initiative will be the construction of underground shelters.
There were approximately 2,000 large shelters in Germany during the Cold War, but this number has since been reduced to 600 with a capacity of 500,000 people. This is not considered sufficient to protect the entire population; Therefore, significant investments are needed for the construction of new shelters.
An annual investment of €1 billion is expected in shelter construction and maintenance, as well as staff training and material purchasing.
