Cultural Landscape Museum in the Wermsdorf Forest
The cultural landscape museum is located in the western Wermsdorf forest around the area of the "Kirchenteich", the "Drei-Teichen" and the "Doktorteich".
The open-air museum and the old excavation sites are divided into the following main areas:
1. The Bronze Age burial ground south of the Doktorteich
2. The ruins of a medieval tower mound castle / fortification with a farmyard at the Drei Teichen
3. The "desert village of Nennewitz" at the church pond
4. Ground plan of a church with cemetery at the church pond
5. Pechsiederei und Grubenköhlerei an den Drei Teichen
Since 1990, the Friedrich-Gustav-Klemm-Gesellschaft für Kulturgeschichte und Freilichtmuseen e. V. has been processing the finds, relics and archaeological remains from over 3000 years of human settlement and making them visible in a landscape museum. Sophisticated display boards invite visitors on a 3,200-year journey through the past. A forest classroom is also available in the adjacent parking lot and visitors can marvel at the excavation sites, burial grounds and relics on various paths (from approx. 2 to 10 km). Guided tours take place by appointment.
