Absolutely nothing remains of Forster’s full time residence in Oliwa, though his former office – Nazi Party HQ no less – still stands, albeit in a dilapidated state, on ul. Orzeszkowej 2. Abandoned in recent years this formerly ornate building had a secret escape tunnel running out to the bottom of the hill on I-5 ul. Kartuska 135L which was designed to allow Forster a quick escape into the surrounding countryside. Look for the electrical wholesaler outlet between the pipes and opposite the Skarpa bar to be found on the part of ul. Kartuska which is an extension of ul. Zakopianska). Today both entrances to the tunnels have been dynamited and filled in.
