German Museum of Technology (Berlin)

Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin ("German Museum of Technology") was founded in 1982 in Berlin, Germany, and exhibits a large collection of historical technical artifacts. The museum's main emphasis is on rail transport, but it also features exhibits of various sorts of industrial technology. Recently, it has opened both maritime and aviation exhibition halls. The museum also contains a science center called Spectrum.

On May 15, 2002, a special exhibition opened which featured the inventions of computer pioneer Konrad Zuse.

It is located in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin, in buildings formerly part of the freight depot attached to the Anhalter Bahnhof. The building's famous C-47 'Raisinbomber' Skytrain can be seen with ease from the top of the Fernsehturm and from a descending aircraft landing at Tempelhof Airport.

The museum contains many relics throughout, with a large aircraft section which houses a Messerschmitt Bf 110, Flak cannon, Stuka and a V-1 flying bomb.

Everyone who visit Berlin should come here. The 6€ it costs are worth every single step you take in here, from the computer history, to the aviation, shipping and trains. Awesome!

A whole day isn't enough to visit this museum if you plan to see all trains, ships, cars, cameras, computers and everything else on display. Must-visit in Berlin.
