A private owned museum near Schweinfurt in Franconia. There are a lot of tanks and heavy equipment I have seldom seen at a private museum in Germany. Since a few years they have an own area for driving with the tanks and vehicles.

You need some time because the museum has such a lot of items, from the german-french war to modern times.

Very nice! First museum I have ever seen with it's own gasthouse (restaurant).

 

Military themed museums were not common in Germany when I was there in the 1980's. I'd love to walk through this one, especially the Cold War section... they might have things I remember.

Wish this would have been around when I was stationed in Schweinfurt. I don't remember much in the way of military museums, just the technische museums. Thanks for posting the info!

The 2015 event was a remember of the end of World War II. Not correct, there was no defense of Stammheim in April 1945. But here the story of the event:

an air-attack set the Tiger I in flame (it`s a movie tank, not a real, used in the movie "Stalingrad" for instance)

the Hetzer tank goes back (it`s a swiss one, Switzerland used the tank with a muzzle brake)
