About the museum

The Bauerngerätemuseum (Farm Tools Museum) was set up in 1995 as a branch of the Ingolstadt City Museum on a former farm in the district of Hundszell, the so-called Blasibauernhof. It has grown into a lively cultural meeting place in southern Ingolstadt, where old and new farming culture can be experienced.

The focus is on the profound transformation of agriculture and rural life over the past 200 years. A large collection of agricultural and rural-craft tools and machines shows how yields could be increased and how this changed the daily work of rural people. The permanent exhibition is organized into the areas of crop farming, livestock, labor, transport and energy, and household management, and it continues to be expanded.

Besides the permanent exhibition, the museum offers hands-on programs for daycare centers, schools, and families, as well as regular meetings such as handicraft and singing groups. The museum is run by the Zentrum Stadtgeschichte (Ingolstadt City History Center).
