The origin of the museum is a collection of profile planes created by the carpenter and frame glass master Rüdiger Timme from 1965 . In 1995 a historical workshop was set up in an 18 m² room, which was also open to the public. In 1998 the museum moved to the farm that is still in use today. After expansion, 10 rooms on 350 m² are now used for the exhibitions.

Various workshops with original tools have been set up in the museum. One room is set up as a wheelwright shop . There the work steps for the production of a wooden wagon wheel are shown, as they were common in the region. Another workshop shows the workplace, the bank room, of a sole master. Several workplaces are shown in another workshop.
