Hohenloher Freilandmuseum Wackershofen

The museum features over 70 relocated historical buildings across 35 hectares, showcasing rural architecture from northeastern Baden-Württemberg through furnished interiors and outdoor exhibits.

Founded in 1983, the museum evolved from the Bauernmuseum Schönenberg of 1972, starting with 13 buildings and expanding to include structures from the late Middle Ages to 1900s.

The museum groups buildings by regional themes, including the Hohenloher Dorf section and wine-growing area houses, representing different social classes and agricultural traditions.

Visitors can explore the museum from March through November, with extended hours during summer months and special opening times during Baden-Württemberg school holidays.

The facility maintains active farmland with livestock, including cattle, sheep, and poultry, while offering traditional cheese markets and agricultural demonstrations throughout the year.
