The German Tank Museum is a military museum in Munster dedicated to the history of armored vehicles from World War I to the present day. The collection includes numerous tanks, vehicles, weapons, and personal equipment spread across a large exhibition space.
The museum developed from private collections of the Bundeswehr Tank Training School and opened to visitors in 1983. Since then, it has documented the evolution of armored technology across different periods.
The museum displays vehicles that reflect the tradition of German tank engineering across decades. Visitors see not just machines, but evidence of technical innovations passed down through generations.
