The Deutsches Museum presents an important part of its collections at Oberschleissheim Airfield in the north of Munich, close to the old Bavarian palace buildings. The airfield and its historic buildings were constructed between 1912 and 1919 by the Königlich-Bayerische Fliegertruppen (Royal Bavarian Flying Corps).

In the early 1990s the historic maintenance hangar was restored and enlarged with a new exhibition hall and a restoration workshop. The Flugwerft Schleissheim complements the big aerospace exhibitions in the main museum in Munich.

We will have a guided tour through the museum. This event is also interesting for families with children. Children get a “Researchers Sheet” at the entrance (German) on which they can document their discovery of the history of aviation!
