The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) in Göttingen offers interested groups the opportunity to learn more about DLR and its research. After a brief introduction to DLR in general and to the location Göttingen, we will have a look to selected institutes/facilities which are available on the requested date.

Legal notice for visitors
The guided tours offered by DLR must in no way be involved with any commercial activity or offer. DLR reserves the right to make changes to the programme or to reschedule visits at any time if internal procedures so require. DLR will of course inform any groups affected by rescheduling as early as possible. Registration does not entitle groups in any way to be given a guided tour in a specific form or on a specific date. In this respect, DLR wishes to emphasise that any costs that may be incurred as a consequence, such as cancellation fees etc., cannot be refunded.
We would also like to point out that photography and filming are prohibited on the premises of DLR Göttingen.
