Bundeswehr Military History Museum, Military history museum in Dresden, Germany
The Bundeswehr Military History Museum is a history museum in Dresden displaying weapons, uniforms, vehicles, and documents from different periods. The collections tell stories of war and violence through multiple perspectives and timeframes.
The building began as an arsenal in 1876 and served different political systems as a Nazi museum, Soviet museum, and East German museum. This transformation reflects Germany's major political shifts.
The museum presents military history through thematic exhibitions that examine violence as a historical and anthropological phenomenon without glorifying warfare.
The museum is open daily and visitors can move through various exhibition areas at their own pace. Plan enough time to explore the extensive collection comfortably.
A striking glass wedge designed by architect Daniel Libeskind pierces the classical structure of the original arsenal building since 2011. This visible rupture symbolizes a break with the past and becomes a central element of the visit.
