Robert von Zeppelin- und Fliegermuseum

Robert von Zeppelin- und Fliegermuseum is an aviation museum in Wittmund that displays aircraft models, aeronautical equipment, and objects related to early flight development and regional airfield operations. The collection also includes vintage motorcycles and printing machinery, offering visitors a broad view of how aviation and related technologies shaped the area.

The museum focuses on Wittmundhafen airfield, which served as a base for Imperial Navy airships conducting observation flights during the First World War. Its founding in 2015 marks a effort to document and preserve the area's aviation heritage from this formative period.

The museum reflects how airships and aviation shaped the region's identity through objects that show the technical progress and daily impact of flight during that era. Visitors can see how these developments influenced local life and became part of the community's story.

The museum is most accessible during the warmer months when regular visiting hours apply and longer stays are more comfortable. Groups benefit from contacting ahead to arrange uninterrupted viewing times that suit everyone.

The museum takes its name from Robert von Zeppelin, a descendant of airship designer Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who donated personal items including a World War I naval uniform to the collection. This family connection to aviation history gives the museum a direct link to the Zeppelin legacy.
