Museum of the helicopter of Bückeburg

The largest museum of the German Hélicoptère is located in the town of Bückeburg whose castle shelters an important collection of apparatuses.

Inspired by his formation achieved in the United States, the pilot of helicopter Werner Noltemeyer started since 1957 to gather all that had milked with the technique of the vertical flight. Its collection was the starting point of the current museum making the turn of the history and the technique of the helicopter, of its whole beginnings to today. The collections were exposed until 1970 in a barracks and were accessible only to the soldiers and rare guests. During the removal in the castle “Burgmannshof” was created the association of the friends of the museum ( Förderverein Hubschrauberzentrum E. V. ) in responsibility of manage the collections and to place them at the disposal of the public. In 1980 a large hall of exposure was built. One can see on his 2000 m ², 40 apparatuses, helicopters and Giravion S, of various times and many elements (driving and gear-boxes) as well as a great quantity of models. The files present photographs, films and other documents on technologies relating to the helicopter.
