The approach is via federal highway 13 to Marktbergel. Please note that access to the military training area is not permitted.

Exciting exhibitions

The Muna Museum itself is an important place dedicated to researching and preserving the history of the former “Oberdachstetten Air Main Ammunition Facility”. It offers an exciting collection of over 4,000 objects and documents that document the military-historical development of the region. This includes not only the Nazi era, but also the fates of foreign workers and those forced into labor, as well as the stories of soldiers and the civilian population in the surrounding communities. The aim of the association that runs the museum is to create a politically neutral and unadulterated picture of history, as the association explains on its website.

The exhibitions range from the history of Illesheim airfield to vehicles, uniforms and weapons. This collection reflects various eras, including the Reichswehr, Wehrmacht and Bundeswehr periods.

A look at the military-historical significance

For those interested in military history topics, the area surrounding the Muna Museum also offers informative opportunities. Numerous exhibits on naval and aviation history are presented in Germany's museums, including historic submarines and military aircraft. For example, the German Naval Museum in Wilhelmshaven features a remarkable Type VII-C class submarine, while the Bundeswehr Air Force Museum in Berlin features a variety of war aircraft. The Steelandwings portal also provides information about relevant marine history exhibits and their significance.

In summary, Family Day at the Muna Museum promises an exciting and educational experience for the whole family. Whether exploring the history or enjoying the tasty food – everyone will find what they are looking for here! So be there and experience history up close.
