Alfred Wegener Museum Zechlinerhütte

The Alfred Wegener Museum Zechlinerhütte showcases authentic artifacts from Alfred Wegener's life and focuses especially on exciting questions that arise today from his work on climate change 🌍.

Especially impressive is Wegener's adventurous spirit: in 1906, he set a world record with over 52 hours of balloon flight. The museum brings his diverse research fields to life – from atmospheric physics to mechanics, thermodynamics, radiation, optics, acoustics, and electricity.

In addition, the museum creates a personal connection through the story of Wegener's childhood and his family summer vacations at Zechlinerhütte.
