While working in the yard, Lukas Meyer felt his shovel hit something hard ⛏️. After digging up the ground, he discovered a steel door buried under the ground and bushes 🌱.
Frozen by time, it seemed undiscovered for decades 🕰️.
Divided between curiosity and caution, he warned his family 👨👩👧👦 and contacted experts 📞 before examining the insides 🔎.
The Meyers’ home was purchased five years ago. Situated in a remote part of town, the house sold for an abnormally low price.
The realtor, who said little, gave the impression that he was hiding something.
But the offer was too good to ignore, in an area where property was significantly more expensive.
At the time, the family had no idea about the secret hidden beneath their garden.
After several attempts, the door finally opened, revealing a staircase leading into a dark room with rough concrete walls.
By the light of the flashlights, the Meyer family discovered a copy of the painting, shelves filled with canned goods, cereals and medicines, and neatly prepared beds.
The boxes contained batteries, matches and supplies of drinking water.
Some details intrigued them: there was fishing gear and ammunition, but no weapons.
The shelter was designed not only for functionality but also for comfort, with wallpaper and carefully selected decor.
Lucas later told reporters that they had found a real bunker, likely dating back years.
The former owner, he said, was worried about the war and wanted to prepare for the worst.
Instead of leaving it abandoned, the family decided to renovate it and turn it into a holiday home.
This forgotten shelter became a new part of their home, hidden underground.
