The team at Boschung Global rose to the challenge set by Arite, something made all the more difficult in that the goal was to sell the collection as a single package – not only the aircraft, but the museum, hangars and associated facilities. The collection was not to be sold piecemeal and dispersed across the world if at all possible. Months of dedicated work followed, Boschung Global mindful that they had to find a new owner who would respect the Schülke legacy and continue to operate Hangar 10 as a tribute to the airmen and women who fought, and often died, for their country.
Boschung Global’s tireless efforts were eventually rewarded when they secured the signature of Munich based entrepreneur Karl F. Grimminger, he already the owner of ‘LUFTRAUM SÜD,’ this an impressive aviation collection, some of which is on display at his newly built hangar at Aalen. Hangar 10 was of particular interest to Karl, who said that: “it is very important to me to keep the German collection together as a whole”. He therefore decided to continue on with this unique flying museum at its original location, but is considering a name change to ‘LUFTRAUM NORD.’ In his view, positive synergies can be expected between the collection in Usedom and his existing museum in Aalen, both of which are now open to the public.
