Luftfahrt- und Technikmuseum Merseburg

The museum contained over 50,000 exhibits including aircraft, fire trucks, cars, motorcycles, and a collection of historical engines in multiple exhibition areas.

The facility operated on an airfield built in 1934, which served Soviet forces until 1991 before becoming a museum space in 1996.

The institution presented exhibitions on aviation technology, vehicle mechanics, camera equipment, cinema devices, computing systems, and communication technologies.

The museum concluded its operations in November 2020 following a closure order from the Saalekreis Building Authority due to regulatory non-compliance.

An Ilyushin Il-62 aircraft transformed into a café in 2003 represented one of the central attractions within the museum complex.
