Düppel Museum Village

The Düppel Museum Village takes visitors back to the Middle Ages with a reconstructed medieval village complex.

On an area of about 40 acres, the Düppel Museum Village, which opened in 1975, attempts a reconstruction of the High Middle Ages around 1200. Today's museum village stands exactly where some peasants had actually lived more than 800 years ago.

Experience Historical Craftsmanship

The reconstructed houses, commercial buildings, and storage facilities, such as the granary, look astonishingly authentic. Visitors can not only view the replicas, but also learn about medieval craft techniques from the village's volunteer staff. It is worth taking a detour to the blacksmith, who demonstrates medieval tools, cutlery, and even a sword. For fans of medieval textile art, the technique of tablet weaving is sure to be of interest. The production of tar is also demonstrated. Several medieval games are on display and invite visitors to join in.

Endangered Species in the Düppel Museum Village

The Düppel de-domestication program deserves special attention. The Skudden, a breed of sheep threatened with extinction, and the Düppel grazing pig are being bred back at the museum village in order to preserve the species. Ancient crops are also cultivated at Düppel. The museum kitchen offers cold and warm dishes, cakes and coffee.
