Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleißheim, Aviation museum in Oberschleißheim, Germany
Description
The Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleißheim displays roughly 74 aircraft across about 8,000 square meters (86,000 sq ft), including military planes, helicopters, gliders, and aerospace technology. The collection spans different eras of aviation and is spread across several levels.
History
The site began as an airfield for the Royal Bavarian Aviation Troops, used for pilot training. In 1992, it became the first branch of the Deutsches Museum and has displayed aviation history since then.
Culture
The Glass Workshop lets you watch restoration specialists work on historic aircraft through transparent glass walls, so you see the craft and care involved in maintaining these machines. This hands-on view shows how much skill and attention each aircraft requires to keep it in working condition.
Practical
The museum is accessible by car or on foot, with parking available for visitors. If you arrive by private aircraft, you can land at the functioning airfield next to the museum and walk directly to the buildings.
Did you know?
The museum occupies the original airfield grounds, where visitors can still watch private planes take off and land today. This blend of museum and active flight operations makes it a rare place where aviation history and current flying share the same space.
