Access and parking to the museum in Speyer

Access and parking to the technical museum in Speyer is very easy. The museum is located in the very center just off the main A61 motorway (Koblenz-Speyer), and a large parking lot guarantees plenty of space for parking. We chose the city car park right next to the Rhine River with a beautiful view of the state of Baden-Württemberg. It is a great place to stop after visiting the museum, as you can see here many interesting types of motor water barges currently sailing on the Rhine.

The beginnings of the museum in Speyer and Sinheim

The museum in Speyer and Sinheim are twin museums of technology that verge on similar themes – they act as two branches. The Speyer Technical Museum has its roots in Sinsheim, where an exhibition hall was set up in the “Liller Halle”, a historic factory room from 1913. Today in Speyer you can see exhibits of rare machines and vehicles that date back to the nineteenth century. The museum has over 25,000 m2 of covered area and 150,000 m2 of open areas. In 1999, the Speyer Museum received the Antonov 22, which at 64 meters is the largest serial turboprop aircraft in the world, and its wingspan is 58 meters. In 2003, however, the most famous acquisition arrived: the Boeing 747 “Jumbo Jet” placed on a steel scaffolding in front of the museum halls. It automatically became a symbol representing this place in a positive way.

Exhibitions and exhibits in the museum of technology are an interesting proposition for people who want to learn more about the history and development of technology. In the museum , the exhibitions are divided thematically in 2 halls and outdoor objects. Each of them is fascinating. Passenger cars, racing cars, fire engines, boat engines and the boats themselves can be found in the first hall. Space themes, bicycles, motorcycles and engines, e.g. for jumbo jets in the 2nd hall. Everyone will find something for themselves. Airplanes, helicopters, boats and submarines together with buses due to their dimensions are mostly placed outside the 🙂

From the curiosities you can find out what they ate and what the cosmonaut’s food portion looks like, what traveled in the golden years of America and how the Boeing 747 is built and partially shabby. Do you watch disaster movies with submarines? Go inside and check how tight it is in such a facility.
