Intro

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

The facility comprises over 30 offices and bedrooms, an engine room, telephone exchange, kitchen and soldiers' lounge as well as other ancillary rooms.

Together with many members of the last active brigade staff and other helpers, it has been possible to recreate the work of a brigade staff during the Cold War on the entire lower floor of the barracks and make it possible for visitors to explain and experience it. The Cold War itself is also the subject of the exhibition and is examined from various angles.

Equipped crew quarters, a library, an elaborate terrain model (the Americans' crossing of the Rhine during World War II), various uniforms and, of course, the operational engine room round off the diverse museum facilities.

After the exciting tour, the Soldatenstube is available for an aperitif or even a full meal. Our secretariat will be happy to provide you with further information.

Group tours are of course available all year round - on all days of the week - and can be booked by calling +41 71 733 40 31 or online.

For individual visitors, the military history museum Kommandobunker Grenzbrigade 8 opens the bunker gate on selected Saturdays.
