The seasonal open-air museum in Berlin’s Nikolassee district (Steglitz-Zehlendorf) offers adults and children a journey of discovery into the life, landscape, and rural culture of the Middle Ages.
The museum village is modeled after a medieval settlement from the years 1170 to 1220. The houses, village square, and gardens offer a glimpse into everyday medieval life in the countryside. During the season, they are built, maintained, and brought to life on weekends by the Förderverein Museumsdorf Düppel e.V.
