Roscheider Hof

Roscheider Hof Review

For a look at 19th- and 20th-century rural life in the Mosel-Saar area, visit this hilltop Freilichtmuseum (open-air museum) near Konz-Saar (10 km southwest of Trier via B-51). Numerous farmhouses and typical village buildings in the region were saved from the wrecking ball by being dismantled and brought to the Roscheider Hof, where they were rebuilt and refurnished as they appeared decades ago. Old schoolrooms, a barbershop and beauty salon, a tavern, a shoemaker's workshop, a pharmacy, a grocery, and a dentist's office have been set up in the rooms of the museum proper, along with period rooms and exhibitions on local trades and household work, such as the history of laundry. In 2005 a large collection of tin figures was added. A Biedermeier rose garden, museum shop, and restaurant with a beer garden (closed Monday, no credit cards) are also on the grounds.
