Wennerstorf Apple Day
Cancelled because of the Corona pandemic
The highlight of the apple season. Apple lovers from all over the region come together at the museum's Wennerstorf farm. Experts from the Pomologen-Verein present unusual and heritage varieties as well as identifying apples brought along by visitors from their gardens. Three to five healthy apples are enough for this. Eckart Brandt, who rescues heritage apple varieties, presents a large display of apples, while tree nurseries and fruit merchants sell unusual heritage and new varieties of apples.
Beer from northern Germany
Cheers! Beer is an integral element of German culinary culture and has been for at least 4000 years now. In recent years, the brewing landscape has become much more diverse. Some two dozen breweries offer their specialities at our event. They are all united by the desire to create liquid works of art using carefully selected ingredients. Some have developed new recipes and brewing techniques, while others have revived traditional types of beer which have been forgotten. Taste this diversity for yourself - and please feel free to talk shop and discuss methods!
