Name: Command Bunker Border Brigade 8

Telephone: +41 79 2626823

The Haslen command post was built in the early 1960s and served the Swiss Army as a command post for Border Brigade 8 until 1996.

The facility includes over 30 offices and dormitories, machine room, telephone exchange, kitchen and soldiers' parlor, as well as other ancillary rooms. Together with many members of the last active brigade staff and other helpers, it was possible to recreate the work of a brigade staff during the Cold War on the entire lower floor of the barracks and make it explainable and tangible for the visitor. Furthermore, the Cold War itself is the subject of the exhibition and is examined from various angles. Equipped crew quarters, library, an elaborate terrain model (crossing of the Rhine by the Americans during World War II), various uniforms and, of course, the operational engine room round off the diverse museum rooms. After the exciting tour, the Soldatenstube is available for an aperitif or even a complete meal. The secretariat will be happy to provide further information.
