Atomkeller-Museum, Haigerloch
Facts and practical information
The Atomkeller Museum is a museum on nuclear technology in a rock cellar below Haigerloch Castle in Haigerloch, Baden-Württemberg. During the final phase of World War II, this cellar housed the Haigerloch research reactor.
The Atomkeller Museum was opened in 1980 and shows the history of German atomic research from Otto Hahn to the present day. The museum houses a reconstruction of the research reactor, two of the original uranium cubes, display boards and models, as well as a replica of Otto Hahn's experimental table when nuclear fission was discovered. The exhibits show visitors the state of nuclear technology development at that time. In addition to the replica of the Haigerloch reactor, models and documentation of more recent reactors are also on display.
To mark the one hundredth anniversary of Werner Heisenberg's birth, a permanent exhibition called Werner Heisenberg - Life and Work was opened in 2002 and is located in the oil mill next to the museum.
