The Atomkeller Museum in the idyllic Haigerloch is steeped in history - it is the site of the world's first nuclear reactor. The former beer cellar of the Schwanenwirt at the foot of the castle rock served as a laboratory for a research group from the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin in 1944/45. The beer cellar of the Schwanenwirt Otto Merz was rented in 1944 by the then Berlin Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics. The physicists had to leave Berlin due to the effects of the war and carried out the last experiment on a German nuclear reactor during the Second World War in Haigerloch under the overall direction of Professor Werner Heisenberg. Various replicas, models and display boards now provide an overview of the research carried out at that time.

In 1944, the nuclear physicists around Professor Heisenberg and Professor von Weizsäcker moved their experimental reactor to the former beer cellar of the Haigerloch Schwanenwirt. Berlin had become too unsafe due to the constant air raids by the Allies.

So the small town of Haigerloch wrote scientific history with nuclear fission in the beer cellar.
