Museum of local history Fürstenberger Hof

The life of farmers in the Black Forest

The Fürstenberger Hof, a proud witness of the past, with a mighty thatched roof lies on the banks of the Harmersbach in the romantic Kurgarten. The 350 year old farm gives an impression of the life of the Black Forest farmers of the last three centuries.

It is as if the farmer's family had just gone out into the fields: a kitchen blackened by smoke with a stove, butter barrel, waffle iron and many other kitchen stools, a living room with a tiled stove and the "Herrgottswinkel", a bedroom with a four-poster bed and a full wardrobe.
In the living rooms of the Fürstenberger Hof as well as in the stable, the barn and the bakery and Brennhiesli, the museum shows with great attention to detail a true-to-life image of Black Forest farmer life.
