Neuschwanstein, Meteorite fragments near Füssen, Germany
The Neuschwanstein meteorite is a space rock that broke into three pieces when it fell to Earth near the German-Austrian border. These fragments scattered across several square kilometers of the region between Bavaria and Austria.
This meteorite entered Earth's atmosphere on April 6, 2002, traveling at high speed from space. It broke apart during its descent, scattering its pieces across the landscape below.
The fall of Neuschwanstein meteorite generated numerous scientific expeditions and attracted meteorite hunters from multiple European countries to the region.
The pieces landed across a large area spread over different locations near the border region. Visitors should gather information about where the fragments are currently kept or displayed before planning a trip.
The Neuschwanstein meteorite shares orbital characteristics with the Pribram meteorite that fell in 1959, suggesting they originated from the same celestial body.
