Allied Museum Berlin (AlliiertenMuseum)

The museum

Berlin’s Allied Museum interprets the city’s Allied occupation, the Berlin Airlift and the Cold War. An original Handley Page Hastings transport aircraft, previously used on airlift routes, anchors the outdoor collection and illustrates the scale of the postwar effort to sustain West Berlin.

The aviation component emphasizes a surviving Royal Air Force Berlin Airlift transport, which gives aircraft context to the political and logistical history of the city. The museum principally tells a modern German political-history story rather than aviation history. The Hastings is included as an unusually significant original aircraft; current internal-access arrangements vary independently of general museum admission.

The aircraft records are selected documented collection entries rather than a complete inventory. An aircraft may be temporarily away from the museum, held in storage, undergoing restoration, or represented by a replica or partial airframe. An unknown display status does not mean the aircraft can be seen during a visit. Confirm opening arrangements and specific aircraft access with the institution before traveling.
