Around 1790, the primeval moor was drained, cultivated and settled under Elector Karl Theodor. The museum of local history in the "Haus im Moos" (House of the homeland) is a reminder of the "people in the moss" who cultivated the mossy areas and made a home for themselves: Farmers, peat cutters, basket makers.In the open-air museum, two farms and a day labourer's house have been faithfully reconstructed and furnished. They show how the "Mösler" lived and worked around 1900.
