The
Bundeswehr Military History Museum (German: Militärhistorisches Museum der Bundeswehr) is the military museum of the German Armed Forces, the Bundeswehr, and one of the major military history museums in Germany. The museum is under the technical and administrative chain of command of the
German Armed Forces Military History Research Office . It is located in a former military arsenal in the Albertstadt neighborhood of Dresden. The arsenal, an enormous, neo-classical building, was decommissioned and became a military museum.
Early in the 21st century, it was decided to give the museum a major renovation and architect Daniel Libeskind won the competition with a design for an glass and steel wedge that slices through the building at an angle symbolizing the rupture in German history represented by the Nazi era. The Daniel Libeskind plan is now finished and the museum was re-opened on 15 October 2011. The museum includes the original Brandtaucher , the first German submarine, built in Kiel in 1850.Wikipedia Bundeswehr Military History Museum .VIDEO
