history

In the 1970s, Heinz Landmann, director of the St. Michaelisdonn Agricultural School in Dithmarschen, began to put together a collection of old agricultural machinery for his students to see. When, after a few years, the collection became too extensive for this purpose, Landmann transferred it to the Dithmarschen district , where a concept for the use of this - then unique - collection was developed.

The plan was to build a farm in the newly created Speichererkoog in front of the city ​​of Meldorf , which was to be run by members of the Meldorfer workshop for the disabled (today: Perspektive Meldorf) - with exhibition buildings for the old agricultural machinery. In 1981 the hotel "Holländerei" burned down in Meldorf, which freed up a plot of land for use as a museum in the immediate vicinity of the farm. A new building was then built for the collection. Today, all activities are still carried out by people with disabilities .
