The German Space Travel Exhibition (Шаблон:Lang-de) is a permanent exhibition in the village Morgenröthe-Rautenkranz, Germany. The exhibition is dedicated to Spaceflight and Space exploration.
History
Sigmund Jähn, born in Morgenröthe-Rautenkranz, was the first German astronaut, completing a space mission as part of the Interkosmos program in 1978. To commemorate the joint USSR – GDR space flight, a permanent exhibition was opened in his hometown in 1979 under the name Permanent exhibition of the first joint cosmos flight USSR – GDR (Шаблон:Lang-de). Today, Jähn's hometown is part of the municipality of Muldenhammer in the rural district Vogtlandkreis.
Following German reunification in 1990, this exhibition was broadened to feature a pan-German perspective on space. In 2006/2007, the exhibition was given a new building with significantly more space and an attractive outdoor area including a "planetary park" and a space travel-themed playground. The exhibition, which is operated by a non-profit Registered association, is visited by 60,000 to 70,000 guests every year.Шаблон:Citation needed
The former railway building in which the exhibition was previously housed still exists. Today it serves as a guesthouse and bistro, with decor inspired by space travel and steampunk.[1][2] In 2020 the street in which the exhibition is located was renamed from "Bahnhofstraße" to "Dr.-Sigmund-Jähn-Straße".[3]
A further expansion with a second building is planned for the future.[4] The prospective build is anticipated to require an estimated investment of 8.7 million euros and deature a cinematic experience, space bistro, conference centre, and museum shop for visitors.[5][6] Costs will be split between the Saxon state parliament and tax payer money.[7] Construction is not expected to start before spring 2023[8] and opening planned for 2025.[6][9][10]
