Aeronauticum

The Aeronauticum is an aviation museum on the Wurster North Sea coast with two sections: an indoor area featuring documents and models, and an outdoor area displaying actual aircraft. The collection includes German naval planes from different eras along with tools, instruments, and equipment related to maritime aviation.

The museum opened in 1991 to preserve the history of German naval aviation. Since then it has collected aircraft and documents showing how this branch of aviation developed over many decades.

The museum tells the story of pilots and engineers who flew and built maritime aircraft. You can understand how these people worked and what challenges they faced during missions over the water.

The best time to explore the museum is during warmer months when both exhibition areas are fully accessible. In winter, cold winds on the coast can be harsh, so warm clothing is advisable if you plan to visit the outdoor section.

The museum created a special app that lets children explore on their own and solve interactive puzzles throughout the exhibition. This tool transforms the visit into an adventure where young visitors discover new things at each aircraft.
