The farmhouse museum Allgäu-Oberschwaben Wolfegg in Wolfegg in the Ravensburg district shows over twenty historical buildings from Upper Swabia and the Allgäu in Württemberg on a 12- hectare site, on which numerous farm animals also live.
The Ravensburg district has been the sponsor of the open-air museum since 2003; it is run as an in-house company together with Achberg Castle .
history
The open-air museum was founded in 1978 after the Association for the Preservation of Rural Cultural Assets had been founded two years earlier . The museum was intended to contribute to the presentation and preservation of the typical regional house landscape.
The opening took place in 1978. At that time the core of the museum was the fisherman's house and the living quarters of the arcades . By the mid-1990s, the museum area was intensively expanded by moving several courtyards to Wolfegg. At the same time, a collection of objects from rural everyday culture was set up.
In 1991 the museum grounds were significantly expanded by including neighboring properties. The larger area now made it possible to embed the historical buildings in an appropriately designed regional cultural landscape. In addition to the everyday culture largely documented in the buildings, traditional agricultural cultivation methods including the associated cultivated plants could now also be documented.
