Guided tour of DLR-site Cologne
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) in Cologne offers interested groups the opportunity to learn more about DLR and its research weekly, from Wednesday to Friday from 10:00 CET or 14:00 CET, by appointment. The tours are free of charge and last approximately 3 hours. Upon request, the tour can also be conducted in English.
The group should have a minimum size of 10 and a maximum size of 28 people. Young people under the age of 16 can unfortunately not be admitted. In this case, we recommend a visit to the DLR_School_Labs.
After a brief general introduction to DLR, our specially trained guides will present the following institutes and facilities:
- DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine (DLR-Institut für Luft- und Raumfahrtmedizin)
- DLR Institute of Solar Research (DLR-Institut für Solarforschung)
- European Astronaut Centre (Europäisches Astronautenzentrum; EAC)
- Microgravity User Support Centre for space experiments (Nutzerzentrum für Weltraumexperimente; MUSC)
The guided tours for 2024 are fully booked!
We will be happy to accept your enquiry for 2025 in December.
