German Museum of Technology

Loved this museum. There is so much to see and learn about the development of technology of the world. The computer science is unbelievable to see what a computer used to look like compared to the present, super big! Basically all the items we use everyday were gigantic back in the day. Their new building was the best part of the museum. It was very cool seeing all the different planes during the world wars, while looking at some other ships and even some water boat simulations, which were fun to watch and play. Overall, I had a great experience at this technology museum and highly recommend spending part of the day here!

Great experience. We went on a guided tour of 1 hour and we wanted more. There was so much to learn! They have tickets at the entrance but it is always better to buy tickets in advance especially for groups. You can choose the day and the time. Our group chose a tour in English and the guide was very kind and the information she gave was accurate and insightful.

An exceptional museum with superb exhibits and well thought out galleries. It was busy on the weekend we visited and booking in advance is reccomended. There is a cafe and free lockers for all parts. My advice is to take your time here, there is so much to digest and I really like the way it’s forward looking, in particular the annex with its examination of the way technology is going and how that relates to our lives. Highly recommended for a wet day or if you have children interested in the topic. Really good value with the Berlin Welcome Pass discount.

A wonderful museum full of fascinating exhibits for all ages! The variety is impressive — from early industrial machines to aircraft, trains, and space technology. My child especially loved the interactive sections and could spend hours exploring. It’s both educational and fun — definitely one of the best family spots in Berlin!

Interesting museum. The transportation sections were quite comprehensive. Great airplane and ship/model selection. Signage to the old museum could be better. But it has a good, if not small display of German vintage cars. And the Cafe was a good place to take a break. A worthwhile museum to visit. Easy to get to by U or S Bahn.

I really enjoyed my visit to the German Museum of Technology in Berlin! It’s a fantastic place if you’re curious about how technology has shaped our world. The exhibitions are super interesting and easy to follow, with lots of cool things to see like vintage trains, airplanes, and even old ships. What I loved most was how interactive some parts were it made learning about complex inventions way more fun. The museum has something for everyone, whether you’re into history, science, or just like seeing unique machines up close. It’s a great spot to spend a few hours, especially if you’re visiting with family or friends. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in Berlin!

The Deutsches Technikmuseum is an enormous, highly interactive shrine to technological history, making it one of Berlin's most popular and engaging museums for all ages. Located on the historic site of the old Anhalter freight depot, the museum's visual icon is the "Raisin Bomber" a Douglas C 47 Skytrain suspended dramatically over the new building's façade, signaling the importance of its aviation and maritime halls. Inside, the expansive Rail Transport exhibition is a major highlight, featuring over 40 original rail vehicles including the opulent salon car of Kaiser Wilhelm II in the massive historic engine sheds. From the world's first computer (the Zuse Z1 replica) to the hands on exhibits at the adjacent Science Center Spectrum, the museum brilliantly connects technology's cultural impact with its mechanical past, ensuring visitors can easily spend a full and fascinating day exploring its vast collection.

The Technology Museum in Berlin is such an amazing place! You can see so many cool things from different time periods — old planes, cars, ships, computers, cameras, and much more. It’s like walking through the history of innovation! Everything is well displayed and interactive, so it’s fun for both kids and adults. A perfect spot to spend a few hours exploring and learning something new.
