Thuringian Farmhouses Open-Air Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The farmhouses that you see here in Rudolstadt are also known as "Thuringian farmhouses" and are considered the oldest open-air museum in Germany.

The houses were built in the 17th and 18th centuries and removed from the surrounding villages in 1914/15 and rebuilt in the city park of Rudolstadt. Thanks to original furniture and everyday objects, the museum shows you very clearly what farm life was like in the Thuringian region. The establishment of the village pharmacy is particularly interesting.

The open-air museum also includes a picturesque courtyard. There is an open-air cinema and a theater in summer.

Marienturm

Highlight • Monument

Very nice view from the terrace of Rudolstadt in the distance! The tower itself is not so easily accessible. You would have to make an appointment with the Marienturmfreunde association (information in the hotel). This is because there is also a registry office in the tower, etc. The view from the terrace is just as beautiful 😉.

Kulm Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 20 meter high Kulm Tower is one of the oldest steel lattice towers in Germany. The listed tower was built in 1884 and extensively renovated in 2012. The viewing platform, which is exactly at a height of 500 meters, can be climbed in any weather and at any time of the day. Caution! The stairs are very narrow, not for people with a fear of heights.
