Aviaticum Aviation Museum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Aviaticum flight museum at the civil airfield Wiener Neustadt / Ost in Wiener Neustadt showed exhibits and models of aircraft, mainly from the history of gliding in Austria , in a 400 m² hall . The museum was rented in one of the halls of the aircraft manufacturer Diamond Aircraft from the beginning , but had to leave it in 2019 due to its own needs and is in the process of moving to one of the historic aircraft hangars also at the East Airfield.

history

The museum is based on the collection of pioneer Toni Kahlbacher (1914–2004) and Reinhard Keimel from 1983 for an Austrian gliding museum Hundsheim / Spitzerberg , which could not be realized there - 5 km south of Hainburg an der Donau . In cooperation with the City of Wiener Neustadt , the State of Lower Austria and the company Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH from 1993 onwards, it was finally possible to open the Aviaticum in the new building at the East Airfield in 1999. The museum is based on the private foundation Aviaticum Flight Museum von Kahlbacher and City of Wr. Neustadt and is operated by an association.
