The Bundeswehr is therefore becoming fit for war. A consistent focus on national and alliance defence in the overall national context is the order of the day. A tough rudder situation, one might say. This time, it is essential that the general public supports the changes in the armed forces. Communication is of crucial importance - in the context of change management, it is considered a key success factor. Access marineforum digital+ Are you already a registered user?

Shipping history in the centre of Berlin

Shipping history in the centre of Berlin

Until the Second World War, the Museum of Oceanography built up an important collection of maritime exhibits. But war damage and the subsequent confiscation destroyed Kaiser Wilhelm II's dream. Yes, there really was such a thing - a museum of oceanography in the centre of Berlin, founded by the shipping enthusiast Kaiser Wilhelm II and at the time a must-see for every patriotic German. Now part of the collection of the German Museum of Technology and also represented with individual exhibits in the Military History Training Centre (WGAZ) in Flensburg-Mürwik, it was world-class at the time. It was opened on 5 March 1906 in the rooms of the Chemical Institute in...

After two years, the German Navy is returning to the Indo-Pacific. Together with the German Air Force, it will take international cooperation in the region to a new level. This year's Indo-Pacific Deployment of the German Air Force and Navy renews the German signal of wanting to contribute more to the security of the community of values in the region.
