Rundlingsmuseum Lübeln, Open-air museum in Lübeln, Germany.
The Rundlingsmuseum displays traditional rural buildings arranged in a circular layout that reflects the structure of old farming villages in northern Germany. The structures date from different periods and show living and working spaces used by people in these communities.
The museum brings together buildings originally scattered across the region and reassembled in this location to preserve rural heritage. One workshop for harnesses dates to 1852 and was moved here in 1996, illustrating the effort to save these structures.
The buildings show how linen was made and used in everyday rural life, reflecting work that shaped the region for generations.
You can walk through the buildings at your own pace, though guided tours provide deeper information about the sites. Wear comfortable shoes and bring weather-appropriate clothing, as you will spend time outdoors moving between the structures.
An old stable building from 1887 that once housed horses and pigs now displays a collection of regional folk costumes, showing where families kept their best clothing. This repurposing reveals how museums give new life to practical farm structures.
