Very neat museum! It has something for everyone from your classic car enthusiast to your aviation buffs. You can explore a fire engine collection to walk through a Boeing 747 which is on stilts in the sky. There is an extensive collection on the space program. There is even a Russian rocket. It’s a must visit.

It's truly interesting, and I read, one of the few buildings at all to survive the destruction of Speyer in 1689. This gate was first mentioned in records in 1176. The lower part of the tower was built between 1230 and 1250; the uppermost tower floor was added in the period from 1512 to 1514. The steep, high roof was made in 1708. The thing is, as historical and cool this tower/gate is, you can take it in, in about 5 minutes.
