Additional Information

In reality, the Hermann Oberth Museum is also known as the Hermann Oberth Memorial House, being raised in a token of appreciation for the contribution it brought towards the mystery of the cosmos. If you are interested in making a quick visit to this point of interest, orient yourself to Sibiu No. 15, in the city of Mediaş.

Here you will find parts of the German physicist Hermann Oberth, whose Romanian origin has caused our country to reach far abroad. Born in Sibiu, he spent a great deal of his life in Romania, only then following courses and ending his life on 28 December 1989 in Feucht, at the age of 95. Certainly, he was a great class personality for the whole country.
