Visiting central Berlin for urban exploration

Hello, two swedes here, planning our trip in June to Berlin

The main objective of the trip is urbex, and as we probably won't have access to a car, we are looking to do exploring mostly in central Berlin. So we're wondering if any Berliners are up for meeting? It's a plus if you're interested in photography, as we do that a lot. We have done urban exploration for two and four years, respectively, and we are both in our 20's. We'd prefer to meet up with people around 18-25, but of course it's not an absolute requirement (age is just a number, after all ) If you'd like, we'd be pleased to show you around Stockholm and its surroundings if you come here.

Below, we have included a few examples of our photography.

My absolute favorite cold war bunker is just outside of Berlin. The head of the Stasi had this massive 3 story underground bunker built just to protect himself.
Seriously, the workers were blindfolded, put on buses and driven around to hide the location, inhabitants could only survive 3 weeks on scrubbed air and 3 days if it was entirely closed, and the telephones could only communicate w/ other bunkers, all living quarters were in shipping containers hung from the ceiling by railroad springs...

but it is the most beautiful example of German over-engineering and nuclear cold war paranoia that it has ever been my priviledge to crawl around in.

I heard it was being filled in for safety reasons, but if you can get into it, it is totally worth it.

Here are just a few pics.

Thanks for your replies and thank you for the tip, mouseling - we'll check it out if we can. Do you have a closer clue to where it is?

So there aren't any berliners interested in hooking up?

I'm not a berliner, or a donut, but I will be in Berlin next week if you are interested in meeting up for some UE.

We'll be there between 10th and 16th of June, do those dates coincide with your stay in Berlin?

Oh oh oh I adore the first picture!

It's so simple and eerie. It kind of sucks me in.

We're now in Berlin, living near Schlesisches Tor U-Bahn station. Anyone wanting to hook up, send me a PM and we'll get together. We have scouted a few locations, but we'd still like to meet up with a local.
