Description

 In 1918  the first educational  and experimental farm for pig husbandry was  founded in the south of Berlin.

It had a great impact on the whole German pig husbandry.

The research results and the qualification standards had a good reputation.

The inspiration about founding a museum for pigs as a farm animal was born in the beginning of the nineties and it was opened in 1993 as a unique museum in Germany.

It was decided to use the former institution in Ruhlsdorf as a location for this museum.

Our goal is to provide knowledge about the historical development of pig husbandry in Germany to a broad public and to specialists in pig husbandry.

In recent years, the amount of people who are bounded with agriculture has decreased and at the same time bad news from the food industry has increased.

We aim at providing some background information to our visitors.
