Ju-52-Museum, Military aviation museum at Fliegerhorst, Wunstorf, Germany
The Ju-52 Museum is an aircraft collection at the Wunstorf airfield that focuses on military transport planes and helicopters. The exhibition displays original aircraft and technical artifacts housed in a hall on the air base grounds.
The museum was founded in 1990 and displays aircraft from several decades of military transport history. A prime example is a Ju-52 that was recovered in 1986 after spending decades in a Norwegian lake.
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 sits on an active airfield, so visitors should expect flight operations and follow safety instructions carefully. Access to the grounds typically requires registering on a visitor list upon arrival.
One of the displayed aircraft was rescued from the depths of a Norwegian lake in 1986 and then underwent complete restoration. This reconstruction took place right at the Wunstorf airfield and required years of careful hands-on work.
