history

Houses in the "Paderborn Village"

On July 22nd, 1960, the Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe decided to found a "Westphalian open-air museum of rural cultural monuments" in Detmold to illustrate the changes in rural life between 1550 and 1800. Folklorist Josef Schepers was appointed director. Six years later, in May 1966, construction began and on July 7, 1971 the museum opened. At that time it comprised the following buildings: Osnabrücker Wiehengebirgshof (eight buildings, shown time: around 1800), Mindener Hof (six buildings, 1800), Doppelheuerhaus (1800–1830), Tecklenburger Kötterhaus (1800–1860), Münsterländer Gräfthof (eight buildings, around 1800).

As the first addition to the building stock, the "Lippische Meierhof" with six buildings was completed in 1973. In 1974 the museum was given the title “National Museum of Folklore”, and in the development plan for 1975 the limit of the presentation of rural life in the museum was changed from 1550 to 1800 to 1550 to 1900. In 1976 the " Westmünsterländer Hof" with nine buildings from the period 1790 to 1860 was completed. The " Paderborn village" from around 1900 was inaugurated on July 13, 1981 with ten of the planned seventy buildings. Two years later the Westhellweghof from Brackel near Dortmund was inaugurated (1793). On June 12, 1991 the whole part of the day laborer's house was moved from Rösebeck to Detmold. In 1992 the museum's collection mandate was expanded to the present day. The " Sauerland Village" (1918–1930) was inaugurated in 1997. In 2000 an exhibition "ZimmerWelten" was held to document everyday living in the present. In 2007 the “Haus Uhlmann” from Ovenhausen and in 2010 the “Haus Schwenger” from Rheda with the historic “Fotoatelier Kuper” from 1891 from Rietberg was opened. The 1960s have also been presented in the open-air museum since July 2013, since a petrol station from Siegen-Niederschelden has been on display in the “Siegerland Hamlet” since then. With the “Hof Remberg” in the Sauerland village, the open-air museum has been offering school classes and other educational groups the opportunity to stay overnight in the museum for several days since May 2016. Evidence 1973–2007:

In May 2017, the 14.2 m high wooden observation tower on the Königsberg was opened on the highest point of the facility on the edge of the Sauerland village .
