Militärhistorisches Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 19:24:07

Operated by the Bundeswehr, this exhibit is a fascinating destination for fans of aviation, technology, history and the military. It spreads its wings over a military air field used both by the Nazis and the Royal Air Force. Exhibits in the control tower and two hangars focus on various aspects of aerial warfare with plenty of old planes, air defense guns and engines on display. Over 100 fighter jets, bombers, helicopters and weapons systems litter the runway, including such gems as WWI biplanes, a Russian MiG-21, a Messerschmidt ME-163 Komet and a GDR-era Antonov An-14.

The museum is about 9km south of central Spandau. Take bus 135 from S-/U-Bahn Rathaus Spandau to 'Kurpromenade', then walk for 1km.
