Deutsches Rundfunk-Museum

The Deutsches Rundfunk-Museum was an exhibition space dedicated to the history of German radio and television, displaying equipment, cameras, microphones, and production gear spanning several decades. The museum was located near Berlin Funkturm and offered insights into the technical development of the broadcasting industry.

The museum was founded in 1967 and initially operated in a former broadcasting building near Funkturm. After several relocations, the museum's original operation ended, but portions of its collection continued in other institutions.

The exhibition showed how radio and television shaped German daily life across different decades. Visitors could see which programs people preferred to listen to and watch during various periods.

The museum no longer exists in its original form and cannot be visited in the traditional way. Those interested in the collection can inquire about the Berlin Broadcasting Archive and the Technoseum in Mannheim, where portions of the exhibition have been relocated.

A special exhibition featured a reconstructed World War II air raid shelter where visitors could experience how people listened to radio during bombing raids. This space conveyed how broadcasting played an important role in daily life during wartime.
