Scandinavia was set up as the sixth section in 2005. Particularly impressive is the real water basin in which there are currently 16 ships that travel from miniature port to port.

The Switzerland section is the most impressive to date – it was opened in November 2007. Here the mountains stand with the 6-metre high Matterhorn as the centrepiece where visitors can hike and enjoy the view once they have reached the summit. There are many astounding highlights, such as the tiny chocolate factory which produces real chocolate, or the open-air concert with 21,000 tiny visitors.

And this is just the beginning! With constant work in the construction sites, the model world continues to grow from minute to minute. In May 2012, the exhibition was joined by yet another attraction: Knuffingen Airport was opened! The team of Gerrit and Frederik Braun (founders of Miniatur Wunderland) thus completed one of the most technically challenging projects of Miniatur Wunderland, offering visitors over 100 aeroplanes and other vehicles with fully automated movements.

By the provisional completion in 2020, there are still two further spectacular section to be completed in addition to Italy and France in mini format

The history of our civilisation

7,000 years of history have been reconstructed in as many hours of painstaking manual work with many details and numerous handmade figures and buildings. In eight dioramas, the story of our civilisation is portrayed from 5,500 B.C. to 1942. You will marvel at the Neolithic era, the middle ages and the time of the French Revolution, as well as the periods of the two world wars. To illustrate the appearance of these eras to visitors, an ideal and typical, fictionalised piece of land is created for each of them.
