In a world where security is becoming increasingly important, one key question arises: Where is the nearest shelter?
This is exactly where Schutzraum comes in - an innovative platform that makes shelters, bunkers and protective facilities throughout Germany centrally visible and accessible for the first time.
What is a shelter?
Schutzraum is a free web app that makes it quick and easy to find shelters in the immediate vicinity. Whether bunkers from the Cold War, underground car parks with a protective function or subway railroad tunnels - all known shelters are recorded and displayed on an interactive map.
Important information is displayed for each shelter: type, condition, capacity, protection level and accessibility.
From the community, for the community
Schutzraum is designed as an open platform and thrives on the active participation of its users. Anyone can add new shelters or add to and correct existing entries. All contributions are carefully checked before publication to ensure high data quality.
A ranking list recognizes the most active contributors and makes their commitment visible - in recognition of their contribution to everyone's safety.
21 languages, one common mission
Germany is diverse - and so is Schutzraum. The platform is available in 21 languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, Arabic, Persian, Kurdish, Bulgarian, Greek, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Danish, Czech and Portuguese.
Because in an emergency, information must be accessible to everyone - regardless of the language.
Open for developers
Shelter also offers added value for developers. Protected space data can be seamlessly integrated into your own applications via a REST API. API keys can be easily requested via the user account.
What's next...
Schutzraum is still in the early stages of development. In the coming weeks and months, we will continue to expand the database, add new functions and further improve the platform.
Everyone can contribute - whether by submitting shelters, reporting bugs or simply by sharing the platform.
Together we make shelters visible
Shelter has a clear goal: making security infrastructure transparent and accessible - for everyone.
