Stiftung Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin - Home

The Deutsches Technikmuseum is the place to find out about the history and science behind the appliances and things we use every day.
There are aeroplanes and ships to look at, and real railway locomotives. Watch a suitcase being made, or find out how jewellery is manufactured. Discover just how much else we have to offer.

The Projekt Technoversum is the museum's next major expansion stage.
In the Technoversum, the future main building, we will be treading new conceptual ground. The theme-related approach chosen for the future marks a radical break with the collection-based exhibitions of the past.
Started on May 13, 2011, the doors of the new exhibition about (auto-) mobility are open.

At Science Center Spectrum you can try out 250 hands-on experiments to learn through play and discover that physics is fun. It is here where young and old alike can also gain a better understanding of scientific discoveries and natural phenomena.
Please note:
The Spectrum is temporarily closed for modernization. It will reopen approximately in December 2012.

The Archenhold-Sternwarte (1896) is the oldest and largest public observatory in Germany.
It has modern telescopes, a small Zeiss planetarium and the world’s longest movable refractor telescope, with a focal length of 21 metres. Exhibitions show the dimensions of space, the solar system and the history of astronomy.

The Zeiss Planetarium is one of the largest and most modern in Europe.
Under its huge dome it offers planetarium programmes where scientific findings are presented in an entertaining and artistic setting developed by composers, graphic artists and actors.

Why is the sugar loaf called a “sugar hat” (Zuckerhut) in German? How is sugar produced and what does a toad have to do with sugar?
The Zucker-Museum lets you discover not only the history of beet sugar, but also of cane sugar - and a lot more.
