Haigerloch nuclear pile, Nuclear research museum in Haigerloch, Germany.

The Atomkeller Museum occupies a former beer cellar beneath the castle church, featuring a reconstructed nuclear reactor and scientific equipment from World War II.

In 1944, scientists from the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute relocated their experimental nuclear reactor to this hidden location due to increasing bomb raids on Berlin.

The museum exhibits detail the contributions of German physicists Werner Heisenberg and Otto Hahn through documents, photographs, and original laboratory equipment.

The museum opens from May to September, Monday through Saturday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with admission fees of 3 EUR for adults.

Visitors can examine an authentic reconstruction of the wartime nuclear reactor and view Otto Hahn's original experimental table in the underground facility.
