German Agricultural Museum

The German Agricultural Museum is located on the University of Hohenheim campus and displays farming technology from manual beginnings to modern mechanization. The collection includes working machines, historical equipment, and everyday objects that document how farm work has changed over time.

The museum was established to preserve the history of German farming from the 19th century to the industrial present. Its growth reflects the dramatic shift that machinery and scientific methods brought to rural areas and food production.

The museum reveals how farming shaped rural communities and continues to influence local food production and land use today. Exhibits combine personal items and work tools to tell the story of manual labor that defined generations of farmers.

The museum spans two locations with both indoor and outdoor exhibition areas to explore. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for changing weather depending on the season, especially when viewing outdoor displays.

The museum preserves working historical machines that are occasionally operated for demonstration purposes. This living preservation allows visitors to not just see but hear and feel how earlier farm machinery actually functioned.
