On an area of ​​around 30 hectares, everyday rural life in the Bergisches Land over the past centuries is documented. According to its subtitle “Bergisches Freilichtmuseum für Ökologie und Bauern-Handwerkliche Kultur” (Bergisches Freilichtmuseum für Ökologie und Rural-Handicraft Culture), communicating the development and environmental goals of Agenda 21 as a model is of central importance in museum work. According to the motto “Think globally - act locally”, the Lindlar open-air museum aims to strengthen people's everyday skills. Visitors to Lindlar should not only be informed about the Bergisches Land in terms of cultural history, but should also be encouraged to self-critically reflect on their own position in the sense of a global partnership.

The social and cultural change is mediated in Lindlar by four building groups (villages) with currently (2012) 30 buildings, which illustrate different time levels. The Hofgut "Zum Eigen", consisting of several buildings of different origins. It deals with the time of subsistence farming up to the revolution of 1848/1849 . The "Oberlingenbach" group, which is still being expanded, is dedicated to the phase after the establishment of the German Empire in 1871, when the railroad and urban lifestyle gradually reached the Bergisch villages. In the next few years it will be supplemented by buildings and facilities that convey the influences of the industrial age on the countryside in the first half of the 20th century with new commercial work opportunities and technologies. With its agricultural and small-scale industrial structure, the Lindlar Open-Air Museum fulfills an important bridge function in the canon of LVR museums to the LVR industrial museum with its six locations, which essentially illustrate the phase of high industrialization in the Rhineland.

The Peters Hofanlage, located directly behind the museum entrance building, shows rural life in the period after 1945. Outside of this timeline, another group of buildings has been built on Mühlenberg, which conveys the special features of the southern Bergisches Land.

Another project is the village school from Waldbröl-Hermesdorf . The school, built in 1861, could not be preserved at its old location and was moved to the open-air museum. The future exhibition will focus on two topics: a historical one, which deals with the history of the Hermesdorf School and the development of the Prussian elementary school system, and a current one, which is devoted to the question of equitable education for all. The opening is planned for 2021.

The operational rags mill Müllershammer
  • Miller's hammer from Lindlar-Oberleppe
    With the decline of the iron processing industry in the Bergisches Land, the Müllershammer was given a new use around 1870. Since then, it has served as a rag-tearing shop for several decades. Its wooden water wheel drives several historic textile machines. The interactive exhibition "Textilewege" not only provides information about the historical recycling of textiles, but also addresses the problems that arise from the wasteful use and overproduction of clothing. The museum's environmental workshop is located on the top floor.

  • Gut Dahl from Wülfrath
    The house, which comes from the Niederberg area with 400 square meters of living space, is the largest museum building. The change from a rural to a middle-class household is shown on two floors.

The remnants of the wallpaper found during dismantling were reproduced true to the original and attached. Haus Dahl shows the life of the residents around 1850.
  • Saw frame from Dormagen-Hackenbroich

The no longer existing wooden shed was reconstructed with the help of photos and contemporary witnesses. Right from the start, the gate was driven by a 6.5 HP electric motor. The saw frame is fully functional, it is driven with the help of a steam locomotive at major events.
  • Forsthaus Broichen from Bergisch Gladbach-Broichen
    The first drafts of the forester's farmstead date back to 1931. The building permit was granted in 1933. A year later, August Klug's carpentry firm in Rösrath completed the log building, made entirely of oak, in the Königsforst. Today only a few similar systems are known in the entire Rhineland, such as in Eckenhagen-Blockhaus or in Wermelskirchen on the Bayer “Grosse Ledder” conference site. Between 1940 and 1965 the property was inhabited by the Besgen foresters family. The original photographs that have been preserved were used as templates for furnishing the forester's apartment.
  • House Lindscheid from Lindscheid near Nümbrecht
    The half-timbered house from Lindscheid near Nümbrecht in Oberberg is a common stable house for the Bergisches Land. In the middle of the 19th century, the house was modernized and expanded, but its oldest construction phases were built in the 17th century. The building was inhabited until 1922. Since then it has served the owners as a barn with an attached coach house. Many preserved architectural history details, such as an oven in the basement, a two- door , a Take closet and many original wall findings characterize the house. The building is shown around 1850, a time when handicrafts and rural life often went hand in hand.
