Steam ploughs, antique tractors, and a model collection that is unique worldwide: The German Agricultural Museum (DLM) displays lovingly restored agricultural equipment that has written agricultural history on 5,700 square meters of covered exhibition space. Visitors will see the transitions of agricultural production and get to know about the effects of technological innovations on the working conditions of the farmers. The exhibits show the development from simple agricultural tools up to the most modern agricultural technology. The DLM’s varied program for visitors includes tours for visitors and school classes, special exhibits, a children’s program, and special days like the annual “Hohenheim Field Day.” more

Impressive animal specimens and artfully crafted Xylothek: Directly under the dome of Hohenheim Palace, the Zoological and Veterinary Museum impresses with a remarkable  collection of exhibits. It contains a cross-section of the entire animal kingdom. Among the highlights are the extensive collection of native songbirds, masterfully compiled biologies of native insects, lines of descent of various domestic animals, and malformations in the embryo development of vertebrates. Fascinating treasure: The Hohenheim Xylothek is one of the largest xylotheques in Germany. The most important natural characteristics and possible uses of 189 tree species are compiled in artfully crafted "wooden books", which are up to 200 years old. more
