Step Into 1200 AD: Düppel Museum Village Revives Medieval Life
The Düppel Museum Village brings medieval life back to the present day. Spread across 40 acres, this open-air museum reconstructs a village from around 1200. Since opening in 1975, it has offered visitors a hands-on look at history through crafts, farming, and traditional games. The site stands where a real medieval settlement once thrived. Today, volunteers demonstrate long-lost skills like tablet weaving and tar production. Nearby, a blacksmith works with tools, cutlery, and even forges swords for visitors to examine. The museum village blends education with immersion, letting visitors touch, taste, and try medieval life. Through crafts, farming, and conservation, it preserves a slice of history that might otherwise fade. The site continues to operate as both a living museum and a working example of heritage in action.
