The Stasi bunker in Machern is the only almost entirely preserved innovation management station of the former state security and belongs to the "Runde Ecke" Memorial Museum in Leipzig. The museum documents military activity by the former GDR Ministry of State Security and its tasks in the so-called "Spannungs- und Mobilmachungsfall".
