About the museum
The DPM deals with the history of German tanks from their origins in the 19th century to the present day. It thus deals with a topic of great relevance: organized violence is one of the most important topics in history; mechanized violence is a central theme of the 20th and 21st centuries. The DPM is the only museum in Germany with this thematic focus.
