Open Air Museum in Neusath-Perschen, Germany

The Open Air Museum, known in German as Oberpfälzer Freilandmuseum Neusath-Perschen in Upper Palatinate, Bavaria is a museum that offers an insight into a country and farming life of earlier days in Germany.

Visiting this museum requires around 2-3 hours walk depending on how you do your sightseeing. Just like me who loves to take a lot of pictures, it surely took me around three hours. You can find 50 re-erected buildings in the compound. There you can find how people lived, worked and built according to their region and social standing. During your tour, you will be passing “Stiftland Village” through “Waldler Village” to “Millvalley” and on to “Jura Village”,
– from the “four-side-farm” (yard in square-form) via the herdsmen’s cottage to the squire’s estate, from the chapel to the inn.

It was so far a very interesting sightseeing we had in this museum. Here are images I took during our visit last May 2009.

The group of the buildings in the “Naabvalley Village” representing Central Upper Palatinate, where agricultural handcrafts and farm trading are demonstrated, completes the walk
around. Here is also located a Raiffeisenware-house and a blacksmith forge.

I guess this is a sort of a horse-carriage during those times.

The houses were originally occupied by farmers, smallholders, peasants, day labourers, weavers, herdsmen, millers, huntsmen and nobles. The buildings, which could no longer
be kept on their original sites, have been erected in the museum as cultural and historic evidence.

Oldtimer Meeting in Neumarkt Upper Palatinate, Germany

Today was the second Oldtimer Treffen or Meeting of old and historical cars and other forms of vehicles in Neumarkt Upper Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany. It was a very interesting event seeing those old but beautiful cars for the first time. I am just sharing some pictures here. Feel free to visit my other site Travel and Explore Germany for more images from the said event.

I guess this one is the old Fiat model.

My Euro Travel to The Old Times

I mentioned yesterday about our visit to the Oberpfälzer Freilandmuseum in Neusath in the state of Bavaria, Germany. It seems that I was in a time machine trying to get back to the old ways of life and living during those old times. We also witnessed the old farming machinery and equipments they use that time. Can you imagine going back to those old times with no modern electronic gadgets like computer, cellphones, digital cameras, etcetera and other modern household equipments like rice cooker, washing machine, oven, stove or probably some sort of Kohler faucets. Don't you know guys that I even see the old toilets they use before in that museum. More updates later!

My Euro Travel in Oberpfälzer Freilandmuseum in Neusath-Perschen, Germany

What a great day today! I am thanking God for it! We made a trip today in different interesting places in the Oberpfalz or Upper Palatinate in Bavaria, Germany. One of the interesting places we visited was the Oberpfälzer Freilandmuseum in Neusath-Perschen in the state of Bavaria, Germany. This museum is now owned by the District of Upper Palatinate since 1977. This museums features the Life and Living of the people in the Upper Palatinate in the past centuries. I really found it very interesting and fascinating. This museum is also considered to be the oldest museum of its kind in Bavaria.

The Freilandmuseum is divided into different places wherein it represent the different regions in the Oberpflaz or Upper Palatinate. The places are called the following;
* Stiftlanddorf
* Naabtaldorf
* Waldlerdorf
* Juradorf
* Mühlental

It was a lot of walking we had today. I thought the first place called Stiftlanddorf is the only one. I was surprised that it where a lot and requires a lot of walking too...a great exercise for me today. These are some photos I had from today. Feel free to visit my other sites later for more pictures.
I'm striking a pose in the very old house of Stiftlanddorf in Oberpfälzer Freilandmuseum in Neusath-Perschen. This house was built around 1600. You can see here different farming gadgets used during those times by the people.

see these very old farming equipments and machinery here...very amazing how the preserved such things!
