German Oil Museum, Technology museum in Wietze, Germany.
The German Oil Museum features extensive displays of drilling equipment, technical installations, and industrial machinery used throughout the history of oil extraction.
The museum stands on the former Devil's Island oilfield, where the first German oil drilling operations began in 1859, leading to a major industrial development.
The museum preserves numerous wooden winding towers, transport pumps, and measuring vessels that represent key elements of German industrial development.
The museum provides guided tours for groups of 25 people, with a visit duration of 90 minutes and additional entrance fees required for participation.
The site contains an original 54-meter Wintershall drilling tower from 1961, which underwent complete refurbishment in 2020.
