Ju-52-Museum, Military aviation museum at Fliegerhorst, Wunstorf, Germany
The Ju-52 Museum is a military aviation museum on the grounds of Wunstorf airfield in Lower Saxony, Germany. It holds a collection of transport aircraft and helicopters displayed inside a hangar on the active air base.
The museum was founded in 1990 by members of the airbase community who wanted to preserve aircraft from several decades of German military transport history. Over the years, the collection grew through donations and recovery efforts, including aircraft retrieved from abroad.
The museum shows how military transport aircraft shaped aviation history and what role they played for Germany. Visitors can see here how these planes were used in everyday operations of the air force.
The museum is located on an active military airfield, so visitors must pass a security check and sign in before entering the grounds. It is worth planning the visit in advance and checking current access conditions, as entry rules may vary.
One of the Ju-52 aircraft on display was pulled from a Norwegian lake in 1986, where it had rested on the bottom since World War II. The full restoration was carried out over several years by volunteers and technicians directly at the Wunstorf airfield.
