Historic Buildings

Since 1974, more than 100 endangered buildings have been re-erected in accordance with scientific standards at the Hessenpark Open Air Museum. The buildings in the Museum have been divided into five groups, each group representing a Hessian type of settlement typical of its region of origin. Houses and farmsteads from different villages have been placed as to give a realistic impression of the social and economic situation in the respective region.
The houses are utilised in a variety of ways. In part they are home to permanent and special exhibitions, whilst others have been furnished with original furniture and household items. In addition, you can also visit our historical workshops in the buildings.
