Soccer fans can get their fill of the game at this new museum, although it is designed for a broader audience as well, with exhibits that look at the sport's economic, cultural, and social significance in addition to its entertainment value. 

You'll learn about fan culture, football as a role model, and its relationship with nutrition. How historic events have influenced the sport is explored through exhibits on football under National Socialism in the 1930s and 40s, as well as under the Communist regime in the GDR. 

The ball used in the 1954 final is the centerpiece of a display about Germany's first World Cup victory.
