1. Demilitarisierung / Demilitarization Marker
Grundsätzlich ist es das Bestreben unseres Museums, alle Exponate in einem möglichst funktionsfähigen Zustand zu erhalten. Bei gepanzerten Militärfahrzeugen ist dies jedoch aufgrund der gesetzlichen Vorschriften nur eingeschränkt möglich, da in Deutschland Panzerfahrzeuge, die sich in privaten Museen befinden, so verändert (demilitarisiert) werden müssen, dass ein Fahren unter Panzerschutz nicht mehr möglich ist. Dies gilt nicht nur für Kampfpanzer, sondern für alle gepanzerten Fahrzeuge, wie z.B. Bergepanzer, und sogar für Panzerteile wie ein Fahrgestell ohne Turm oder den Turm alleine. Bei den moderneren Panzern waren die Demilitarisierungs-Maßnahmen aufgrund der extrem starken Panzerplatten nur unter Verwendung modernster Sauerstofflanzen möglich (Bild rechts).
Nach dem Gesetz müssen aus der Turmpanzerung aus jeder Seite zwei 50 x 50 cm große Stücke herausgetrennt werden, bei Panzerwannen aus der oberen und unteren Bugpanzerung je ein Stück von 50 x 60 cm Größe und aus den Seitenwänden je Seite vier Stücke von 30 x 40 cm Größe. Daneben gibt es noch Vorschriften für die Unbrauchbarmachung der Bewaffnung

Basically, our museum strives to keep all exhibits in as functional a condition as possible. However, this is only possible to a limited extent for armored military vehicles due to legal regulations, as in Germany armored vehicles that are in private museums must be modified (demilitarized) in such a way that driving under armor protection is no longer possible. This applies not only to battle tanks, but to all armored vehicles, such as armored recovery vehicles, and even to armored parts such as a chassis without a turret or the turret alone. In the case of more modern tanks, the demilitarization measures were only possible using the most modern oxygen lances due to the extremely strong armor plates (picture right).
According to the law, two 50 x 50 cm pieces must be cut out of the turret armor on each side, one 50 x 60 cm piece must be cut out of the upper and lower bow armor on tank hulls, and four 30 x 40 cm pieces must be cut out of the side walls on each side. There are also regulations for rendering the weapons unusable and for
