Obviously not. But there are still thousands of bunkers spread in the entire country. Most of them aren't accessible 'though.

I Like Flight Simulation!
I recall seeing something about this on History Channel a while ago. It was located underneath a park and parts of it were still accessible. You might be able to find something searching History.com.

I was surprised to read this. Even if it was too tough to be destroyed I assumed it would have been filled in.

Quote:
The Führerbunker ("Fuhrerbunker") is the name commonly given to the complex of subterranean rooms in Berlin, Germany where Adolf Hitler committed suicide.
The complex was in the north-east grounds of the Reichskanzlei (Reich Chancellory). 10 m below ground and protected by approximately 4 m of concrete, the twenty rooms were distributed over two levels with exits into the main buildings and an emergency exit into the gardens. The complex was built in two distinct phases, one part in 1936 and the other in 1943. The 1943 development was built by the Hochtief company as part of an extensive program of subterranean construction in Berlin begun in 1940. The accommodation for Hitler was in the newer section.
Quote:
The Reichskanzlei was destroyed by the Soviets in 1945 but the bunker largely survived. In 1947 the Soviets tried to blow up the bunker but only the separation-walls were damaged. In 1959 the East German government also tried to blast the bunker - without any effect. Near the Berlin Wall the site was undeveloped until after reunification. During the construction of residential housing and other buildings on the site in 1988-89 the underground structures were largely destroyed. The Reichskanzlei was situated at the corner of Wilhelmstraße and Voßstraße. Further parts of the Reichskanzlei underground complex were often uncovered during the extensive construction work of the 1990s, but they were ignored, filled in or quickly resealed.
Currently the location of the bunker is not marked. The area is instead occupied by a small Chinese restaurant and mini mall while the emergency exit point for the bunker in what was the Reichskanzlei gardens is now occupied by a car park.

Actually, it's a few streets away from the recently opened WW2 memorial site (with the concrete blocks), under a parking lot. One or two of the buildings that were there in the 40's are still standing at the location
