Funny you should mention it, I was aware of the Zuse museum and figured I'd jump on a train next time I was in Berlin to go check it out. (In fairness, I've been thinking this the past four or five times I've gone to Berlin, on the assumption the museum would only get better while I procrastinated...)
Anyway, three minutes ago, after reading about the museum's likely fate (sigh!) on HN, I've booked tickets to Berlin in October.
Hoyerswerda or bust!
- dirkt 18d agoI had the same idea, but it's already closed for the public starting 1st of September [1] (so tomorrow). Also, this museum is closer to Dresden than to Berlin... [1] https://zuse-computer-museum.com https://zuse-computer-museum.com
- lb1lf 18d agoSeptember 1st! Eeek! (Do note I try to go to Berlin once or twice a year to visit friends - so the news of the (more impending than I realized!) closure of the Hoyerswerda museum simply made me get this fall's visit booked...) I haven't been to the Deutsches Technikmuseum since October 2024, so I'll probably make another visit there.

- hommelix 18d agoIt's closed, but the planned events are on-going till 31st of December 2026. If there is an event in the list that suits you're agenda, you can still see the museum. https://zuse-computer-museum.com/angebote/veranstaltungen/ https://zuse-computer-museum.com/angebote/veranstaltungen/
- JsonDemWitOster 18d agoI hope the Deutsches Technikmuseum (Berlin) still has that corner dedicated to Zuse. It was there when I visited in 2019. And overall, I'd wager you'd nerd snipe yourself at DT anyway. Not just with computers but with trains, waterships, aeroships cameras---you name it. That's an easy ~5h to kill at least. I only had to leave because I got tired. The curiosity is strong but the legs are, alas, fragile.
