Nature Change in Karlsfeld: An Exhibition that Brings Landscape History to Life

At the Karlsfeld Local Museum, the special exhibition Nature Change in Karlsfeld – From the 'Barren Grounds' to Cultural Landscape offers an impressive look at 200 years of local and landscape development. The exhibition officially starts on International Museum Day, May 17, 2026, at 2 PM, and will then be on view every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from 2 PM to 5 PM until autumn.

From Moor to Cultural Landscape

The presentation tells the story of how a once uninhabited moorland became a habitat for living, working, and recreation for more than 20,000 people. Photos, exhibits, and historical information guide visitors through the era of drainage, the first settlements, gravel extraction, and rapid growth post-war.

A Look at Change, Work, and Responsibility

Especially fascinating is the arc from early interventions in the landscape to the later rethinking regarding nature and landscape protection. The exhibition illustrates how renaturation, compensation areas, and protected areas shape the current image of Karlsfeld. The work of Karlsfeld nature conservationist Josef Koller is also honored.
