Tirpitz consists of two bunkers that were constructed towards the end of World War II but were not completed before the war ended. Today, these bunkers house an old cannon exhibition that has been converted into a museum. The museum preserves stories from the Atlantic Wall, Hitler's massive bunker project. Visitors enter the bunkers via an underground exhibition tunnel from the Tirpitz.

German Bunker from World War II

In August 1944, the German occupying forces began constructing the large Tirpitz position near Blåvand. The artillery bunkers were part of the Atlantic Wall and were intended to defend the approach to Esbjerg. As the war ended before the bunkers were completed, they have for many years stood as cold remnants of the conflict amidst the stunning dune landscape of the Danish west coast.

From Bunker to Museum

Today, the bunkers have been transformed into a museum and are now part of the Tirpitz attraction. At the museum, you can delve into the history of World War II, exploring Germany's occupation of Poland in 1939, their plans to fortify the entire Atlantic coast with bunkers, and the extensive construction project at Blåvand. Visitors can also gain insight into how the bunkers were intended to function had they been completed before the end of the war.

All exhibits at the Tirpitz museum are interactive, using a type of remote control provided with the ticket purchase. This audio guide, which is integrated into the exhibits, features recordings by professional actors, ensuring a fully immersive experience for visitors.
