Eisenzeithaus Darpvenne
Reconstructed farmstead of the pre-Roman Iron Age in Ostercappeln-Venne with a combined house and stable, outbuildings, a garden, and hands-on activities.
Om museet
The impetus came from the Schnippenburg in the Krebsburger Wald near Ostercappeln, an Iron Age site whose finds mark it as a significant central place around 300 BC that served, among other things, as a cult and sacrificial site. To make the everyday life of this period tangible, a typical farmstead was rebuilt at full size in Venne in 2008 based on excavation findings from the Osnabrücker Land.
At its center is a two-aisled combined house and stable of about 16 by 8 meters made of oak posts, clay-plastered wattle, and a thatched roof, in which the living area with hearth and the stable lie under one roof. It is complemented by a granary, a smithy, baking, smoking, and pottery kilns, a garden with herbs, wild vegetables, and medicinal plants, and fields with panicle millet and flax. The entire area covers roughly 3,000 square meters at the foot of the Wiehengebirge.
The site is looked after by the Förderverein Schnippenburg (friends' association), which offers experience programs for families, children's groups, school classes, and adults – from forging and fire-making through pottery and felting to archery. Together with the find site and the Museum Schnippenburg, the Eisenzeithaus forms a connected offering on the archaeology of the Iron Age in the region.
