German Armed Forces Military History Research Office, Military research institution in Potsdam, Germany
The German Armed Forces Military History Research Office is a research institution in Potsdam dedicated to studying the history of the Bundeswehr. Scholars here examine military documents, strategic decisions, and archival materials from German armed forces across different periods.
Founded in 1957, the institution assumed responsibilities previously held by the military history institute of East Germany after reunification. It became a key academic center for studying 20th-century German military history systematically.
The research office maintains three military museums across Germany, including the Military History Museum in Dresden and the Air Force Museum in Berlin.
The library is open to visitors and provides access to military documents, research publications, and historical archives of German armed forces. It helps to contact the institution in advance to learn what materials are available and how to view them.
The institution operates three military museums across different parts of Germany, including one in Dresden. These museums display military history exhibits and complement the research work with collections accessible to the public.
