The Dornier Museum (spelling: Dornier Museum) in Friedrichshafen is a technology museum that documents the pioneering work of the aircraft designer Claude Dornier (1884–1969) and the Friedrichshafen company Dornier-Werke , which has since been incorporated into the Airbus Group . The initiator is the third son of Claude Dornier, Silvius Dornier , and the sponsor is the Dornier Foundation for Aerospace , in which, in addition to Silvius Dornier, Daimler AG is also significantly involved.
Since 2005, the museum has collected numerous Dornier aircraft, models and other exhibits, which have been presented since the opening on July 24, 2009 in a modern museum building with 5,590 m² building area and a 25,000 m² landscaped park directly at Friedrichshafen Airport . Company history, production facilities and aircraft models are covered, including the giant Dornier Do X aircraft . An archive and a library related to Dornier will be attached.
architecture
The floor plan of the museum hangar represents a runway junction at Friedrichshafen Airport.
The design comes from the architecture office Allmann Sattler Wappner ; the light installations were designed by the space-light artist James Turrell , who is also privately involved in aviation and Dornier.
Management of the museum
The first museum director, Christina Becker , handed over the management of the house to Berthold Porath on April 1, 2010 , who u. a. was responsible for the event "Klassikwelt Bodensee". Porath was honored for his efforts as director in 2014 with the ambassador price of MINT creating the future . In May 2017, David Dornier took over the management from the family.

Several aircraft can be viewed outside between the museum building and the airport runway. Inside the building there are other large aircraft, drones and satellites in the hangar.
