German Museum of Technology
German Museum of Technology, Technology museum in Kreuzberg, Germany
Description
The German Museum of Technology is a large museum dedicated to technical and industrial history in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Collections range from trains and aircraft to computers and printing presses, spread across several buildings around a former railway site.
History
An earlier predecessor was founded in 1906 as a royal museum, closed during World War II. After the city's division, the current museum opened in 1982 on a disused freight yard in Kreuzberg.
Culture
The plane on the roof recalls the Berlin Airlift and the supply flights into West Berlin. Inside, visitors can see how pilots and technicians worked during that period.
Practical
The site is large, so plan several hours to see different sections. Many exhibits stand outdoors or in old engine sheds, so dress for the weather.
Did you know?
A complete historic train set stands on outdoor tracks that visitors can walk around. In a separate building, a working 19th-century brewery occasionally hosts demonstrations.
