Seriously? Have you not seen one in a museum? How about a bottle rocket, or other tiny fireworks rocket?
I am not familiar with the museums in Germany that might have rockets, but you can see them in the U.S., at places like either building of the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum (in the Washington, D.C. area; one in town, one near Dulles Airport), at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio, and at the places where they actually launched rockets, like the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. I am sure that there are other places where you can see rockets, which you should be able to find with a little online searching.
