Explore the history of aerial warfare at an authentic site
As a branch of the Military History Museum of the Bundeswehr in Dresden, the permanent exhibition at Berlin-Gatow Airfield focuses on aerial warfare as one of the most recent forms of military violence. It views the history of technology as part of cultural history, puts people and their various roles at the centre, and examines the interplay between politics, the military and society.
The Military History Museum at Berlin-Gatow Airfield sees itself as a forum for exploring modern, inclusive military history. This includes discussion of the role of war and the military in the past, present and future. In this context, the museum offers a wide range of educational programmes for both the Bundeswehr and the general public.
Training in the field of personal development is designed to enable service personnel to engage critically with German military history. To foster a deeper understanding of military history and the relationship between the military, politics and society, the Military History Museum at Berlin-Gatow Airfield offers a range of programmes, including workshops and guided tours. Programmes for school groups are also available.
