Prickings-Hof

Prickings-Hof is an agricultural complex with animal facilities, a butcher shop, and a restaurant set across a large property. The site combines livestock farming with food production and a dining establishment that serves visitors and locals.

The farm has roots going back centuries, but was rebuilt and expanded by the Döpper and Pricking families after World War II. This reconstruction shaped what visitors see today.

The farm serves as a place where visitors can watch traditional farming methods and contemporary agricultural work in action. The family's daily presence shapes how the site functions and how people experience it.

You can walk around the grounds to explore the different areas, including the restaurant and butcher shop. Visiting on weekdays tends to be quieter than weekends, which helps you move at your own pace.

The farm is home to one of the world's largest breeding bulls and handles all meat processing in-house from raising the animals to final products. This complete control over production is uncommon at this scale.
