Museum of military history tanks2/23/2024 Around 10,000 items are on display – even a superficial visit easily requires two hours or more. It has an exhibition space of around 10,000 sq m spread over five levels. The resulting light and shadows reflect the changing fortunes of the German military history. In the case of the German Army Military History Museum in Dresden, Daniel Libeskind added a steel and glass wedge in 2011 to an arsenal from 1877. The museum follows the current standard German approach to controversial historical buildings and issues: get an international star architect to drive a symbolic nail into an existing building to inset new into old and then get on with putting together a modern, very objective display. This museum is one of very few in Germany that actually has German war equipment from the First and Second World Wars on display. The Militärhistorisches Museum der Bundeswehr – Military History Museum of the Federal (German) Armed Forces in Dresden, Saxony, is often referred to as the Kriegsmuseum or War Museum. The German Military History Museum in Dresden Some of the most famous large items in the museum include a V2 flying bomb, Germany’s first submarine, the Horch cabriolet used by Choltitz and later Charles de Gaulle, and the landing craft that returned the first German in space to earth. The museum shows how the military, armies, and war influenced politics and society, and vice versa. The War Museum (Militärhistorisches Kriegsmuseum) in Dresden offers a very rare glimpse in Germany into warfare, military history, and fighting equipment.
