Technology of the Miniatur Wunderland

The Miniatur Wunderland is without a doubt a 'wonder' not only in reference to it's landscape and surface area, but also in regards to the technology behind the exhibit.

Gerrit Braun and the model-making team have pushed the limits of model construction, with a large part of the exhibit's technology being custom designed and built. Using solely off-the-shelf parts and electronics was not possible, primarily because such components are not meant for continuous operation. Additionally, our scale of 1:87 does not have a large parts base to support it.

For example, most of our 150 pushbutton action sequences were custom-created, as well as the Car System and the Ship Navigation system. In this section of the website we describe for you in-depth some of the technology, facts and statistics of these systems.

Due to the high volume of creative technology involved in the Wunderland, we unfortunately can't present all info here, but we definitely will try to highlight the most interesting points!
