Neuschwanstein, Meteorite fragments near Füssen, Germany
Three fragments of the Neuschwanstein meteorite, with a total mass of 6 kilograms, landed across several square kilometers near the German-Austrian border.
On April 6, 2002, at 22:20:18 GMT, the meteorite entered Earth's atmosphere at 20.95 kilometers per second and broke apart at 22 kilometers altitude.
The fall of Neuschwanstein meteorite generated numerous scientific expeditions and attracted meteorite hunters from multiple European countries to the region.
The German Aerospace Center conducted systematic searches in the area, leading to the discovery of fragments weighing 1,750, 1,625, and 2,843 grams respectively.
The Neuschwanstein meteorite shares orbital characteristics with the Pribram meteorite that fell in 1959, suggesting they originated from the same celestial body.
