Welcome to the past

Come on a journey through time and travel 500 years into the past at the LVR Open-Air Museum Kommern in the Eifel. One of the largest museums of its kind in Europe transports visitors right into the world of our ancestors. In 75 historic buildings, including farms, workshops, windmills and water mills, they experience at first hand how people once lived and worked in the Rhineland.

It is as if time has stood still. The smell of freshly baked bread wafts through the air. Geese and chickens run excitedly over the cobblestones. Mousetrap dealer Regine "Jien" Braconnier loudly advertises her wares. The loud banging of the hammer on the anvil emanates from the forge. Welcome to the past. Welcome to the open-air museum in Kommern.

Throughout the year, visitors can gain an insight into village life in the former Prussian Rhine Province. Various projects and action days offer the chance to get involved yourself. A total of 75 historic houses and stables were dismantled in the Rhineland and rebuilt on the 100-hectare museum grounds. Simple smoke houses without flues, as were still typical in the Westerwald in the 16th century. Half-timbered buildings from the northern Eifel. But also farms and stables where people in the Lower Rhine and Bergisch regions lived with pigs, horses and chickens under one roof.

Strolling through the villages and hamlets, fields and orchards, visitors also meet "real" people from the past, such as the nun Clara Fey, who once looked after poor, abandoned children, or the farmer Anna Ippendorf. 

It is only a few steps from everyday village life to the recent past. In the narrow streets of the small town of Rhenania, visitors stroll through the time from the French occupation to the German Empire and the post-war period. From here they reach the Rhineland marketplace, which brings the 1950s to the 1990s back to life. Many a visitor will still remember it. For example, the prefabricated house from the Quelle catalogue, the first bungalows and the emergency call pillar, also called the "iron guard". But also an old air-raid shelter, Nissen huts, which served as accommodation for numerous bombed-out families, and a transitional home for refugees, a container from 1991, can be visited. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in their own personal memories and relive their own past.

    WirRheinländer ist eine grandiose anschauliche Sonderschau die den Betrachter regelrecht in die Geschichte " einsaugt" . Man fühlt sich beim Blick durch die Fenster in der Kulissenstadt versetzt in die Zeit. Kurz und anschaulich bis kurzweilig die Erklärungen im Guide. Allein die Verwaltungsreformen, die Berufsfreiheit, die Säkularisierung, Einführung einheitlicher Kommunalrechtsstrukturen, Kataster usw. usw....gehören nicht unbedingt zum Erinnerungsbild. Grandios aufbereitet !
