The Low German two-storey house was built in the middle of the 19th century as a half-timbered structure in Niedermehmen and was used as a farmhouse for almost 150 years.
In the center was the hallway, which could also be entered by wagons through the large gate. On the sides, cows or horses were housed in the stables. At the end of the hall was the wider flet with the hearth, behind it were the heated parlor and the sleeping chambers.
The house was dismantled in Niedermehnen and rebuilt in Wehdem in 1990/91 by the Stemweder Heimatverein and the municipality of Stemwede with the support of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Heimathaus shows historical household goods and furniture and informs about customs and history of the municipality of Stemwede. Behind the Heimathaus is the farmer's garden, a coach house and a bee house.
The reconstruction shows the original state of the farmhouse as it was probably built in the middle of the 19th century with its functions. It is a farmhouse as it was typical until the 20th century.
Here you can see how the half-timbered house is constructed: The horizontal transom is pushed with its tenon into the mortise of the vertical upright. Two wooden nails secure the transom so that it does not slip.
A göpel is a machine that is driven by a horse, for example. In the 19th century, such göpel was used in agriculture, for example, as a drive for threshing machines. The göpel shown here is now in the Heimathaus.
