There was a medieval settlement on the site of today's open-air museum over 800 years ago. The permanent exhibition tells the story.
More than 800 years ago, a village settlement was established in what is now Berlin-Nikolassee. How did people live in the Middle Ages? What was village life like? What did they eat? The permanent exhibition in the Düppel museum village invites you to discover this and more at the historical site.
Right at the entrance to the open-air museum, the exhibition offers insights into the everyday life of the medieval rural population in our region and their era. The period around 1200 in the Slavic-populated area around Berlin was characterized by immigration from the west and the founding of the Mark Brandenburg. The exhibition makes this development visible. A timeline also shows how the landscape has changed over the millennia and what it was like in the Middle Ages.
Exciting facts and historical contexts about the medieval village, which was excavated and partially reconstructed at the site of today's open-air museum from the 1970s onwards, are presented in an easily understandable way. Hands-on stations invite visitors to smell, touch and try things out.
Narrated history
At audio stations, six fictitious villagers also provide examples of everyday rural life in the Middle Ages. They bring back a bygone era and give visitors to the museum village a vivid impression of who the people who once lived here might have been.
