Gärtner- und Häckermuseum, Museum of Bamberg market gardeners and winegrowers in Bamberg, Germany
The Gärtner- und Häckermuseum occupies a typical gardener's house in Bamberg's Gärtnerviertel. Its rooms — living and sleeping quarters, kitchen, pantry, utility rooms — and its courtyard and garden recreate the home and workplace of a gardening family around 1900. A separate exhibition shows objects of the gardeners' religious customs.
The museum was established in 1979 and documents the history of market gardeners and winegrowers who worked in Bamberg since the late Middle Ages. These professions shaped the landscape and economy of the city over many centuries.
The museum shows how gardening families lived and worked around 1900, with views of their kitchen, storage spaces, and daily routines. You can see which objects and rooms mattered for their work and how closely their living and working areas were connected.
The museum is open from April through November, Tuesday to Sunday, with collections displayed in several rooms and the garden. Since the historic building lacks ramps or modern lifts, wheelchair access is not available.
The museum opened in 1979 in a typical gardener's house in Bamberg's Gärtnerviertel. It was redesigned for the 2012 Landesgartenschau and reopened on 22 April 2012. A separate exhibition shows objects of the gardeners' religious customs.
