Yes,  when I lived in Berlin I spent a good half day there last year and could have spent longer.  Great and interesting place and strongly recommended.

Sorry
The Museum in München ist a complete different place.
See http://www.deutsches-museum.de/index.php?id=1&L=1
To see this museum, you should take your time, a week is may be not enough!

What a hero you are ....  :thumbup:
Scoffed no end of Weissewurst (??) in Stuttgart ..
Best ones were IIRC Thuringer Rostwurst { ?? ) 'kin HUGE things, think that's what  they were called.
 
The Germans do a nifty line in sausages, far better than most of the spineless rubbish here. You did stand a good chance of their stuff being made from protein rather than cereal .... blaaaah.

 Just looked it up ... it's Thuringer Rostbratwurst ...

HI Lads , here are a few of the photos I took on my visit to the museum ,the museum is well worth a look if your ever in Berlin , having a wide section of exhibits and demonstrations .

Its easy to spot  the museum from a distance as its the only building with a Douglas C-47 Skytrain/Dakota suspended from the corner of the building . One of the aircraft used in the Berlin airlift

http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050597.jpgGerman Museum of Technology
http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050598.jpgGerman Museum of Technology
http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050601.jpgGerman Museum of Technology
http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050730.jpgGerman Museum of Technology

One of the first exhibits is of a working  engineering shop from the early 1900, complete with all the line shafts ,driven from a very fine example of a beam engine .

http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050626.jpgGerman Museum of Technology
http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050607.jpgGerman Museum of Technology
http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050612.jpgGerman Museum of Technology

Another very fine beam engine , there are red boxes that are viable in a few of the photographs these are positioned next to an exhibit and give the time at witch the next demonstration will be given .So if there is something you have a particular interest in seeing its just a case of noting the time and wandering back to see the demonstration .   

http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050636.jpgGerman Museum of Technology

A few of the locos they have on display , one which  has been sectioned so you can see how things work.
http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050671.jpgGerman Museum of Technology
http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050653.jpgGerman Museum of Technology
http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050652.jpgGerman Museum of Technology

Some of the 1/5 scale model locos and rolling stock , these were built to a very high standard .

http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050649.jpgGerman Museum of Technology
http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Berlin%20engineering%20museum/P1050650.jpgGerman Museum of Technology

The jewellery manufacturing shop was excellent  with chain making ,embossing ,drawing,rose engines and guilloche demonstrations ,the display cases showed a step by step processes of spin and lost wax castings , sadly no casting demonstration that day . Wile on the subject of ornamental work I was lucky enough to pick up a five volume set of Holtzapffes Turning and Mechanical Manipulation 1850 on my way back through London,nice addition to my library.

Now this was something else , whats hard to see due to the glass is the amount of rivets in this model of a boat lift , similar to the  Anderton Boat Lift here in the UK , This model was still under construction , but the chap did give me a quick demo .

AS well as sail boats they had a good selection of steam boat engines .

Above  is just a very small selection of what was on display ,some of the other displays were computing,chemistry,transport,brewery and windmills . They were doing some remodelling of the museum at the time of or visit  but this did not detract from or experience .

Thanks for showing those pics Rob!   :clap: :clap:

Some lovely machinery there........  :bugeye:



First workshop pic. Right hand side. Pedestal drill.......

That's "the one", I started operating in 1972. It was rather tired, by then........   :(

We finally got something (slightly) better, five years later!
