The Scientific Collection of Defence Engineering Specimens (WTS) was founded in 1961/62. At that time it was called "Collection for Weapon and Design Studies" and was based at the Bundeswehr Technical Centre 91 in Meppen/Emsland. In 1982, the collection moved to its current location in Mayener Straße 85-87 in Koblenz-Luetzel. Due to its vast exhibition space of more than 7,000 m², it is one of the most important collections of defence technology in Germany.

Located near the centre of the city on the grounds of the former Palatine aircraft works, it was built by the Technical Museum at Sinsheim when that original location ran out of space.
