Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Bundeswehr Military History Museum , known in German as the Militärhistorisches Museum der Bundeswehr, is one of Germany's premiere military history museums, serving as the official military museum for the German Armed Forces known as the Bundeswehr. It is housed within a former military arsenal in Albertstadt, which was originally constructed between 1873 and 1876 and opened to the public in 1897 as a museum. In 2011, the museum was fully renovated and reopened, showcasing all-new exhibits on the human aspects of war and the evolution of military technology use by German troops, striving to encourage visitors to reexamine the ways they think about the concept of war and honestly present its consequences and violence. Historically significant items on display include the bell from the SMS Schleswig-Holstein, which fired what are generally regarded as the first shots of World War II.
