Über den Betrieb

FLYING – ONE OF THE OLDEST DESIRES OF MANKIND. Follow this dream: Spot the first efforts to conquer the skies, to feel the wind and to become airborne. In the History Hangar you can dive into the aviation history and learn about the beginning of flying. AND ... ACTION! What do Hollywood and the Luftfahrtmuseum Wernigerode have in common? Steven Spielberg himself! For the Hollywood blockbuster „Bridge of Spies', the museum team built a complete cockpit and also the owner of the museum, Clemens Aulich, stood at Spielberg’s sight during the shooting in Berlin. ROYAL FLAIR AND PURE EMOTIONS: One of our helicopters is „royal”, because it was used for a royal family. With our digital guide you will find out more, also how the owner of the museum found the helicopter on a junk yard. SIMPLY THRILL. Entering Hangar 4 you can smell the kerosene. Here you really feel the stress of the pilots. Speed is the main subject in this hangar: Because here you find the jets. In the Wernigerode Aviation Museum, the whole family can come as close to the dream of flying as pilots do. Whether it’s the jet plane in which Prince Charles learned to fly in the Royal Air Force, the infamous Starfighter or the giant Antonov: 50 airplanes and helicopters with a stirring history are waiting to be discovered, explored, and admired from up close. Take a look at the Westland Whirlwind helicopter that Princess Diana travelled in – collector and museum owner Clemens Aulich discovered it at a scrapyard. Did you know that the wings of the Bücker Bü 131 'Jungmann,” which made its maiden flight in 1934, were covered with linen? How does an ejector seat work? What special features does a space traveler’s suit need to have? You can learn all this and more at the Wernigerode Aviation Museum. Visitors of all ages immerse themselves in the fascinating legends of aviation. Whether it’s technically adept grandpa, a school class, or grandma: the Wernigerode Aviation Museum welcomes one and all to enjoy an impressive tour of discovery through the world of aviation and technology. Even Hollywood director Steven Spielberg is enthusiastic about the Wernigerode-based museum’s expertise – after all, he worked together with the team on the production of his film 'Bridge of Spies.” He found what hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world can confirm: a place with authentic technology that amazes everyone. Children can enjoy activities in several areas of the museum. For example, they can experiment at the wind table, which demonstrates the principles of aerodynamics and airflow. Not only for adults the Luftfahrtmuseum Wernigerode is a real highlight. Especially for families with children, the museum is worth visiting. Children really enjoy the stay: 50 aircrafts, helicopters, jets and many other exhibits thrill our young visitors. At the interactive stations they become explorers themselves. As you see, a tour in our museum is definitely not boring. So that all family members have fun, the museum offers many highlights for children: With a flight in our simulators, the family trip will become unforgettable. Even children as of the age of 8 can fly themselves or fly as 'passengers” with the whole family. Those who are 8 and older can book a flight in our 'Messerschmitt Bf 109” simulator. The Bell simulator is very difficult to fly, which is why you must be at least 14 years old to do so. Sure, children really enjoy themselves here – but adults also like to try their hand at making a stellar flying object. Caps, paper, pens, scissors, and coloring pages await you. That’s how aerodynamics can be experienced and the visit becomes an interactive adventure. In order to protect the airplanes and helicopters, we unfortunately can’t allow all of them to be boarded – but with the 'Schnödt-Airline” in Hangar 4, your pilot dreams can come true!
