The Atomkeller Museum is a museum for nuclear technology in a rock cellar below the Castle Haigerloch in the Baden-Württemberg Haigerloch . During the final phase of the Second World War , the Haigerloch research reactor was housed in this cellar .

The Atomkeller Museum was opened in 1980 and shows the history of German atomic research from Otto Hahn to the present day. The museum has 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 he discovered nuclear fission . The exhibits show visitors the status of the development of nuclear technology at that time. In addition to the replica of the Haigerloch reactor, models and documentation of newer reactors are also on display.

On the occasion of Werner Heisenberg's hundredth birthday, a permanent exhibition called Werner Heisenberg - Life and Work was opened in 2002 , which is located in the oil mill right next to the museum.
