Dat ole Huus

The Nature Conservation Park Society (Verein Naturschutzpark or VNP) together with its foundation, the Lüneburg Heath Nature Conservation Park Foundation (Stiftung Naturschutzpark Lüneburger Heide) are the operators of the museum, its contents being supported by the Kiekeberg Open Air Museum (Freilichtmuseum am Kiekeberg).

This exhibit provides information about the historic forms of farming used by heath farmers around 1850.

It shows a typical house inventory and the tools used on a heath farm.

Dageförde furnished the house with numerous artefacts typical of the Lüneburg Heath.

[1][2] Even though the Emhoff bears a more recent date of construction, researchers believe that Dat ole Huus actually has a considerably older kitchen area, built around 1540.
