Oberschwäbisches Museumsdorf Kürnbach

The Oberschwäbisches Museumsdorf Kürnbach is an open-air museum with roughly 40 historical buildings on spacious grounds, displaying traditional architecture and rural structures from different time periods. The buildings offer a picture of how people lived in this region across the centuries.

Many of the buildings date back over 600 years and were later moved to this location to preserve them. The Baroque Kürnbach House, the central structure, shows the more affluent side of these building traditions.

The village displays how people lived and worked in the Upper Swabian region over many centuries. Craftspeople like basket makers and wire weavers show their techniques here, and everyday objects throughout tell stories of how farming and trades shaped daily routines.

The site is walkable on various paths between the buildings, though some routes cross grass and unpaved areas. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and allow time for a leisurely visit depending on the season.

On weekends a small steam railway runs through the grounds, operated by devoted railway enthusiasts. This miniature train is often an unexpectedly enjoyable part of the visit for many guests.
