More than eight hundred years ago, a village settlement arose in what is now Berlin-Zehlendorf. How did people live in the Middle Ages? What was village life like? What did people eat? The permanent exhibition at Museumsdorf Düppel invites you on a journey of discovery at this historical site.

A multimedia exhibition at the entrance to the open-air museum provides insight into the everyday life of rural populations in the Middle Ages. In the years surrounding 1200, the region was shaped by the founding of the Margraviate of Brandenburg and by immigration of people from the west who came to settle territories that were formerly occupied by Slavic peoples. A timeline at the exhibition shows how the region developed and how these developments changed the landscape.

What was life like 800 years ago?
