In the "Lerchennest", an old Franconian small farm, a museum about Frederick the Great (1712-1786) has been set up in the farm's residential building. The eighteen-year-old Crown Prince's attempt to escape failed in this farm in 1730. He was on a trip to southern Germany with his father Friedrich Wilhelm I and wanted to go abroad from here. As an accomplice, Friedrich's friend Katte was brought before a court-martial, sentenced to death and executed with the sword in front of him. The exhibition documents what happened on that August night in 1730, and the Prussian King's youth and reign are illustrated using paintings, graphics, letters and displays. The exhibits include two large dioramas, each with over 2,000 pewter figures, memorabilia of Frederick the Great and a coin and medal collection. The Crown Prince's former sleeping quarters can be viewed in an outbuilding.
