General plan of the Franconian Open Air Museum Bad Windsheim

The Franconian Open Air Museum Bad Windsheim is a 45 hectare museum area on the southern edge of the old town of Bad Windsheim . The establishment of the open air museum in the sponsorship of the district of Middle Franconia was decided on July 27, 1976 by the district assembly. In the spring of 1979, the construction of buildings began, which were moved from their original locations to the museum grounds.

This is divided into groups of houses ( assemblies ) and other buildings from Middle Franconia are constantly being rebuilt as true to the original as possible. There are now over 100 buildings on the museum grounds.

Description of the plant

In the entrance area is the first building of the museum, a large pub building that originally stood in Oberampfrach . There is also a basket house from Knittelsbach in the Ansbach district at the entrance .

The East: Regnitzfranken / Frankenalb assembly group consists of a few farmhouses, a mill and a hop garden . This includes a barn building that was used to store and process the hop harvest at the original location. There it is shown in detail on display boards and old equipment how hops used to be harvested and processed. In 2005 a complete courtyard complex from Zirndorf was opened in the museum.

The south building group: Altmühlfranken consists of several Jura houses with lime slab roofs , including a day laborer's house from Marienstein from the 14th century.

In the West: Mainfranken / Frankenhöhe building group , a communal brewery was rebuilt next to some farms . The brewery used to be in Schlüsselfeld . Today, beer is regularly brewed in demonstrations, which is served right next door in the pub at the Kommunbrauhaus. In 2009 the Jagdschlösschen from Eyerlohe opened with a permanent exhibition on the subject of hunting on the upper floor. In 2010, the school from Pfaffenhofen was added to this assembly and in 2011 the small court chapel from Rodheim (near Oberickelsheim ) with a scourged savior.

In the last few years, a 20th century assembly was created following the West assembly . A steel house , a makeshift home and, since June 2019, a war memorial have been erected there.
