Whether you\u2019re an aviation history enthusiast or curious about the roots of human flight, the Otto Lilienthal Museum offers a fascinating insight into one of the most important figures in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Otto Lilienthal Museum<\/strong>&#8216;s permanent exhibition shows all of Lilienthal&#8217;s known aircraft designs in reconstruction as well as his aerodynamic test rigs. The museum presents Lilienthal&#8217;s flights as a turning point from the history of the desire to fly, for which there are 4,000-year-old documents, to the technical history of human flight. The house sees itself as a technical personnel museum, which is also dedicated to the important other activities of the brothers Otto and Gustav Lilienthal (social reform, construction, toys). In the exhibition section Life Courses there is, among other things, the only preserved steam engine from Lilienthal&#8217;s production, which was acquired in Australia in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 3 km away from the museum, at the Anklam airfield, there is an outdoor area of the museum, the Aeronauticon educational and adventure garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum contains replicas of all known Lilienthal&#8217;s flying machines and his flight-physical experimental setups. The museum also owns the most important collection of original documents on Lilienthal&#8217;s life and work, alongside that of the Deutsches Museum in Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the subject of hang gliders &#8211; Lilienthal&#8217;s principle of flight in today&#8217;s description &#8211; the museum has had a collection of more than 150 flying machines since 1999. Under the title &#8220;<strong>Ikareum<\/strong>&#8220;\u00ae, the town of Anklam is pursuing the project to dedicate Otto Lilienthal&#8217;s baptistery, the Nikolai Church, to this exhibition theme in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within eleven years until 2014, the well-known Lilienthal&#8217;s estate was completely digitised, including the objects located outside, in various countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of 2018 the <strong>Otto Lilienthal Museum<\/strong> received the estate of the locksmith and aircraft mechanic Paul Beylich (1874-1965) from his great-granddaughter Andrea Frey. Beylich was one of Lilienthal&#8217;s closest colleagues and probably the only witness to the crash near Rhinow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Otto Lilienthal Museum is located in Anklam, Germany, and is dedicated to the life and legacy of Otto Lilienthal (1848\u20131896), who is widely regarded&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1981","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1981"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34446,"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1981\/revisions\/34446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
