The museum at the Berlin-Gatow airfield (formerly the Air Force Museum) is a branch of the Military History Museum of the German Armed Forces in Dresden. While a general cultural history of violence is told there, the Berlin museum concentrates on air warfare as the most recent manifestation of military violence. The history of technology is understood as part of cultural history and the focus is on people in their various roles.
Knowledge and stories from over 120 years of military aviation and air war are brought to life at the historical site - told from multiple perspectives, critically and with many personal references. This also includes the history of the airfield, which is now a listed building, from the National Socialist air war school to the Cold War era and the stationing of the Royal Air Force. Gatow airfield is closely associated with the Berlin Airlift.
Since 1994, the site has been available to the museum for one of the world's largest cross-block collections of air warfare equipment from the Cold War era. A comprehensive renovation and redesign of the museum is planned for the coming years.
