German Army Museum

The Bundeswehr military museum places more value on the emergence of violence and the political and cultural roots of conflicts than on the presentation of weapon technology. The conversion of the building was designed by the Polish architect Daniel Libeskind, who became known with the Jewish Museum in Berlin. In the former arsenal built 1877, a modern wedge made of steel and glass was hammered, which looks like a splinter in the historical building. In the permanent exhibition, the military museum shows historical weapons from the Middle Ages to the present. Outside, you can find NVA and Bundeswehr vehicles.
