Trying to explore the dark secrets of this Nazi building loses your sanity

The new Celle Town Hall is a monument of Gothic architecture in the city of Celle, just over 300 km west of Berlin. Although the town hall is currently in this building, its history is quite impressive. The building is said to keep a great secret, writes the portal historicmysteries.com.

People are affected by every experience: we are shaped by what happens to us, and some people believe that the walls of buildings also absorb the energy of what happens in them.

Celle is a cozy little town in Lower Saxony, in central Germany.

Tourists are drawn to public buildings that are reminiscent of the Baroque and Renaissance eras. Among all these German public infrastructure buildings is the New Celle City Hall, which is surrounded by a veil of secrecy.

The origins of the New Celle City Hall

The construction of this building began in 1869, still under Prussian rule, and was completed in 1872. The second brick building was originally home to the Second Infantry Regiment No. 77. After 1919. the Reichsver (German Armed Forces) , which became the Wehrmacht in the 1930s, settled here. The huge building had 300 rooms that could house up to 1,200 soldiers and two hundred officers. If necessary, this ten-story building could house even more residents – it has five floors underground.

Lower floors of the town hall

Until World War II, no special events were held in the City Hall building. However, when Hitler came to power and all of Germany was militarized, the City Hall became the military base for the SS. The first reports of paranormal phenomena appeared after the war, when Allied soldiers took up residence in the City Hall building.

English and American soldiers noticed that the Nazis flooded the lower floors with water and covered them with concrete. This was of great interest to specialized Allied squads who knew that the Nazi regime had hidden works of art and valuables seized in the last days of the war. So they speculated that priceless treasures might be hidden on the lower floors. Lieutenant General Brian Horrocks (who led the soldiers in the building) organized an expedition for divers, who had to explore the flooded lower floors of the building.

Member report

When the diver finally emerged, he was enraged and wandered like crazy. It took him a few hours to calm down, sedatives were essential. Let’s not forget that he was an experienced diver, at that time he was probably one of the most experienced divers in the world.

He said that the mutilated bodies appeared to be moving in the flooded rooms, rattling chairs and trying to escape. He also told me that there was still a dark figure chasing him underwater as he rose to the surface.

After this experience, the diver did not recover anyway, he refused to dive. He was soon diagnosed with an inability to work.

The bodies of the other two divers could not be found, only empty ropes were removed.

Just a few days later, the rest of the British Army arrived to officially occupy the area. April 21 Celle Town Hall was handed over to the British Army, the commander was sacked and the lower floors were covered with concrete.

Why did the Nazis cut down the lower floors of the building?

No one can deny that in the last months of the war, the Nazis deliberately tried to hide and potentially destroy what was on the lower floors of the New City Hall.

The occult and satanic symbols indicate that what was happening there was far removed from the normal operations of the military headquarters.

The remains of people on the lower floors also raise many questions. If it is true that they have been corrupted, no logical conclusion is drawn.

Practitioners of occult rituals, in which dark spirits are summoned for years, believe that when the body is formed or crippled, the evil spirit is more easily incorporated into it. A violently inflicted wound allows you to occupy the body with almost no resistance. Such a ritual is based on the belief that a healthy body is essentially an airtight container protected from negative spirits and energies.

Town Hall after WWII

After the liberation of the city of Celle from the Nazis, the City Hall building served as a temporary headquarters for various shifting detachments marching through Germany and those stationed in the Celle region.

This was also the case after the war: British and American forces were still deployed in Germany for a long time due to the Cold War. Germany has been hit hard by allied bombs, a deep economic crisis and a serious refugee crisis.

After the Second World War, Germany had the largest human movement in its entire history. Eleven million people were relocated and many of them were adopted by the New Cell City Council.

Paranormal activity

During the Cold War, NATO forces settled in the town hall and more and more troops began to speak of paranormal phenomena.

An English infantryman named Stephan Dailey said that as soon as he arrived at the barracks, he was awakened the first night by the sizzling sounds and silhouettes – he saw a platoon of soldiers marching through his window.

Perhaps that would not be very strange, after all, NATO forces were patrolling the entire building. However, when he woke up in the morning, he saw that his room was on the second floor and the window was 10 feet above the ground.

S. Daley served Celle for four years in the 1980s, and during that time a lot of strange things happened to him at the barracks.

For example, he repeatedly heard the sound of footsteps wearing military boots in the hallways or at the parade site at a time when most of the soldiers were outside. Also soft German voices in empty or closed rooms.

And one man, a civilian named Martin Fox, suddenly woke up one night to see his bed levitating at a height of 2.5 meters above the ground. Realizing that this was not a joke, he panicked, and as a result, the bed with a huge image suddenly fell off.

Another man, the Sergeant Major, was standing outside one night and saw a ghostly column of German tanks pass silently by.

There is a catastrophic increase in suicides

It was also quite common for soldiers returning to his room to find him completely devastated, even though he knew exactly that he had left it neat and locked. Blurred shadows were repeatedly observed in hallways and corners. Some men loved that when they woke up at night they saw these dark creatures standing by their bed.

In some of the rooms on the upper floors of the City Hall, the walls and floors are also speckled with pentagrams and other strange symbols reminiscent of the scared images of a surviving diver.

Rumors and horrible stories were told in the barracks, and the courage of the newcomers was checked by telling them to spend the night in one of the occupied rooms. Some newcomers are said to have raised their hands against themselves after such a night.

Although there have been several suicides among soldiers stationed overseas, official records show that there was an inexplicable increase in the number of soldiers fired at New York City barracks in the 1980s due to deteriorating health. Most of these soldiers were diagnosed with depression, schizophrenia, or anxiety disorder. As one of the doctors recalls, the barracks had a dark and depressing atmosphere.

Logical explanations?

Of course, all these phenomena and paranormal events can seem incredible. The terrible end of the diving expedition at the end of WWII may or may not be explained. Perhaps the diver was overcome by the fatigue accumulated during the long years of war due to the intense workload. Nazi forces often concealed war crimes or seized property in large bodies of water that divers must have searched for.

In addition to general fatigue, exploring underground spaces has other dangers. It is especially dangerous to submerge in closed and claustrophobic spaces, such as the City Hall cellars. It is possible that two other divers were trapped somewhere and died in the bleak depths.

Long-term exposure to water can have devastating effects on blood pressure and carbon dioxide. As a result of this effect, normal chemicals in the body begin to act like poisons and can cause hallucinations, intoxication. This chemical process is called nitrogen anesthesia and is described by modern divers and physicians. Perhaps due to such an effect on the surviving diver, he was indifferent to what did not really exist.

Cell killings

Geographically, Celle is close to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. While transporting the prisoners to this camp, the train in Celle changed lines. 1945 April 8 Approximately 3,500 prisoners were transported to Celle and transferred to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. While the train in Celle waited for other prisoners from other concentration camps, allied planes bombed a train carrying ammunition that stopped next to the prisoner train. The train exploded and a large number of prisoners died. The survivors tried to flee to the city or the forests, but the SS soldiers began shooting at them. Those who managed to survive and shoot were hunted like beasts and killed. The awareness of this dreadful event could not fail to affect the soldiers stationed at the Town Hall barracks.

Sad stories and a living legend

Post-war stories about the ghosts of New Ghost Town Hall might as well have been a legend to scare off newcomers. Usually soldiers or soldiers from any country in the world can tell at least one story or legend about ghosts on demand.

However, official documents and reports record a high number of suicides at New Town Hall. Perhaps this can be explained by the location of the building, and the young men who were deployed there had been involved in a war for several years in which they experienced incredible atrocities and horrors, seeing the death not only of enemies but also of friends. However, this does not explain the increase in suicides in the 1980s. Perhaps the horrors of the Nazis really penetrated the walls of the building?

One of the most obvious ways to discover the truth would be to re-examine the underground floors. Surprisingly, no one (at least officially) has done that since. The underground floors are still flooded and bricked up.
