a submarine & the Transrapid
hundreds of vintage-cars, trucks, ships etc...

And where-ever on this page, the infos get too much technical to understand everything, I made also explanations in GERMAN in a seperate paragraph in GREEN digits...

Another interesting collection is to be seen in "Wilhelmsbau" , a seperate museum close to the technical museum.
It shows lots of mechanical organs, traditional caps, hats, fashion, toys, fruniture etc.etc.etc...

A very interesting and informative page on a city that I ignored. I have bookmarked it as I feel that both the city, the Technik Museum and the Historisches Museum der Pfalz are must see!

Great page on Speyer! This small city seems to have so much to offer! I'd love to know how they got that 747 up on that platform! Oh and the Rheinischer Sauerbraten is something I need to try!
