Here on the museum grounds on the Eichenberg, traditional handicrafts such as basket weaving and turning are presented in hands-on activities. People are invited to various events such as the cheese market, craft day, tractor day, harvest festival, etc. I find the shepherd's day, which usually takes place in August, particularly interesting. Here you can find out all about the sheep farm and its products in Thuringia and experience the state herding championships that take place every year. And if you want, you can also try spinning ;-)

It has been continuously built up and expanded since it was founded. Historical buildings from various villages in the region that could not have been preserved in their traditional locations were moved to an open space designated as a museum site. At the new location, they have a new purpose as authentic evidence of bygone worlds in rural Central Thuringia. The buildings are presented holistically, i.e. in a natural and cultural environment based on their historical situation. Cottage gardens, meadows, fields, but also fruit trees and farm animals are just as much a part of it as the original furnishings of the buildings, work tools and other everyday items. The buildings exemplify elements of rural architecture typical of the time and region, but also embody the wide diversification of the social fabric in past centuries. The range extends from stately farms to a village blacksmith's shop, a community shepherd's house, an operational historic village brewery, a day laborer's house, a flower pot pottery, unique in European open-air museums, to the former rectory of the village of Hohenfelden, which also houses the old village school is located.

The museum village is definitely worth a visit. It vividly shows village life in past centuries.
It is also interesting that the buildings were completely moved here from other villages, including an old farmhouse from Gügleben. It was an impressive experience to see the entire house being transported on wheels. As a layperson, it is hard to imagine that...
