Harvest Time at the Open-Air Museum: To kick off the golden autumn, the Düppel Museum Village invites you to a colorful festival.
This weekend, you’ll get to see how fresh bread is baked in a historic clay oven or how food simmers in a pot over an open fire—all prepared according to medieval recipes. At our hands-on booth, families can make a harvest wreath—a traditional decoration for the harvest festival made from ears of grain. In the village square, you’ll also find many booths dedicated to food and the harvest.
At the “Iron Art” blacksmith shop, even the youngest children can swing the hammer themselves and work hot iron over burning embers. A hand-cranked children’s carousel is also great fun.
