Heimatmuseum Aschen

Om museet

The Heimatmuseum Aschen is run by the Heimatverein Aschen von 1960 and documents farming and craft everyday life in the Diepholzer Land. On a site of around 8,000 square meters in the Aschen district of Diepholz, a small museum village has gradually grown from preserved, relocated, and reconstructed buildings.

The ensemble includes, among other things, a granary from 1741, a sheep barn from 1791, a village forge from the 18th century, a carpentry workshop from 1893, a Heuerling house (tenant farmer's cottage), a bakehouse with a stone oven, a beehouse, a draw well, and a horse-gin house, as well as sheds for wagons and machines. Agricultural tools, furniture, tools, and household goods are shown; some workshops are in working order.

Since 1997 a vintage car meeting has taken place on the grounds every year. In 2020 construction began on a two-story half-timbered hall for further exhibits, funded among other things through village development. The old village school was renovated, reopened in November 2025, and has shown a newly designed exhibition since the start of the 2026 season. Festivals such as baking day, craft market, and harvest festival enliven the museum grounds throughout the year.
