German Museum of Technology, Berlin
The staircases in the Technical Museum were hot-dip galvanized by ZinkPower Neumünster on behalf of the company Butzkies.
Founded in 1982, the German Museum of Technology is part of the long tradition of several technical historical collections that remained in Berlin for over 120 years and some of the stocks of which found a new home here. Several of these were destroyed or relocated in the Second World War.
Near the Potsdamer Platz, this technical cultural forum is in an unmistakeable location: the Gleisdreieck on the grounds of the former Anhalter Goods Station. The large museum park with wind mills and water mills, a blacksmith’s and a brewery is a natural oasis in the centre of the major city
The contemporary architecture of the new building for Shipping and Aviation fits in with the historical grounds that have been growing since 1874 into an exciting unit. With the “Candy Bomber” on the façade, the extension sets a significant urbanistic tone.
The German Museum of Technology communicates a multi-faceted
spectrum of old and new technology and its varied references to
culture and history of everyday human life. It is an interactive
place to live and learn with its daily presentations, visitor
activities and conducted tours.
An extensive, technically historical library and the historical
archive complete the offer.
