Deutsches Hopfenmuseum

Deutsches Hopfenmuseum is an agricultural museum in Wolnzach dedicated to hop cultivation history. Three exhibition sections show growing techniques, how the crop was processed, and how trade in hops developed over more than 1000 years.

The museum opened in 2005 and traces the long history of hop farming in this region. Manuscripts, tools, and records show how this crop became central to local life and trade over more than 1000 years.

The building is designed to look like a hop garden, reflecting how this region has organized its crop for centuries. Walking through it, you see the tools and methods that shaped daily life and work in the area.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and you can explore it on your own or join a guided tour. The grounds are accessible, and information stations throughout help you understand each exhibition area.

The collection includes the oldest preserved hop baling press and features a massive replica of a hop cone that visitors can walk inside. This mix of old machines and modern display elements gives an unusual perspective on how hops were processed.
