Bauernhaus-Museum Wolfegg, Open-air museum in Wolfegg, Germany.
Bauernhaus-Museum Wolfegg is an open-air museum with over twenty historical buildings relocated from the Upper Swabia and Württemberg Allgäu regions. The structures showcase rural building styles and contain household items, farm equipment, and tools that reflect how people worked and lived.
The museum was founded in 1978, starting with two key buildings that formed its core. Additional farmsteads and houses were gradually relocated here from across the region to preserve the rural heritage.
The museum shows how people in this region lived their daily lives, with houses that reflect their work, skills, and family routines from centuries past. Walking through the buildings, you see the spaces where families cooked, worked with tools, and spent their time together.
The museum spreads over a 12-hectare site, so plan for a walk of some distance between the buildings. The grounds are laid out as a regional cultural landscape, with farm animals kept in enclosures. Allow several hours to see the houses and the outdoor areas.
The museum keeps geese, ducks, goats and pigs of regional breeds; in summer, Allgäu cows from a neighbouring farm graze on its meadows. The site has been run by the Landkreis Ravensburg since 2003, together with Schloss Achberg as an Eigenbetrieb.
