The Tiger was displayed at Munster Museum from April 2013 until 2016. Herr Hoebig, who reconstructed this tank, was once the owner of the Trun scrapyard in Normandy. Knowing that several Tiger I's were cut up in that scrapyard, he probably took all the Tiger I bits and pieces and started welding them back together again. Some other parts like the barrel and wheels came from Latvia (Kurland area) and the hull and front wheels came from Nahabino military training grounds. The tracks are almost all full reproductions. The tank, which currently consists of 90% out of original parts, is most probably an empty hull missing theengine and gearbox (just like the Jagdpanther displayed at Sinsheim, which is also a gathering of several hull and running gear parts) Most likely this is not the only tiger Herr Hoebig is working on, and the museum announced that their will be a new tank added from the Tiger family to there collection, so maybe it is the second Tiger from the Herr Hoebig collection.
There is a replica currently at the Panzermuseum Munster (see below)

Hope that helps
