An old bakery and a smoking room were kept in operation for demonstrations. In addition to agricultural equipment, mechanical toys, furniture and musical equipment were also on display. In addition, exhibits from the GDR were on view: everyday objects, a piece of concrete grating from the border fortifications and a searchlight and a Trabbi .
