Sachsenhof, Folk museum along Ems River in Greven, Germany
The Sachsenhof features a reconstructed Saxon farmstead with traditional buildings including a main house, pit house, barn, and hay storage facilities.
Archaeological excavations in 1973 at Münster-Gittrup revealed traces of early medieval Saxon settlements, leading to this museum's establishment in 1983.
The main house represents typical Saxon architecture with ship-shaped curved walls, column-free interior, and walls made of willow woven together with clay plaster.
The Heimatverein Greven manages the museum complex, offering visitors insights into agricultural practices and living conditions from the 6th to 8th centuries.
The site maintains active cultivation of period-accurate crops and field herbs, demonstrating agricultural methods from 1,200 years ago.
