Collection and Archive on Local History
The Fahrenkrug Archive and Museum focuses its collection on agricultural equipment, household items, objects from local businesses, Stone Age tools, and toys. Its scope ranges from early tools and everyday objects to agriculture and the regional economy. The collection was expanded and reorganized in 2018 to mark its 20th anniversary. The “Neuen Bahnhof” exhibition covers agriculture, trade, commerce, and industry.
The Fahrenkrug Archive uses old school, municipal, and fire department records to document local history and preserves older agricultural literature. These sources connect different aspects of community life with the history of agriculture. As exhibitions, collections, and access arrangements can change, check the latest information before visiting.
In the Wider Segeberg Travel Region
In Bad Segeberg, a self-guided walking tour of approximately 1.5 kilometers takes you through more than 875 years of the town’s history and also covers Kalkberg and Kalkberg Cave. A longer route is Bad Segeberg’s 5.1-kilometer “Ihlsee” loop, which runs through Ihlwald forest and along the Trave meadows. The routes differ in length and subject matter: one focuses on the town’s history, while the other features woodland and meadow landscapes.
The Wildpark Eekholt offers another way to experience nature in the Segeberg travel region. Across 67 hectares, visitors can observe more than 700 animals from 100 species. As animal and species numbers can change, check the latest figures before planning your visit. The Segeberger Forst covers 40 square kilometers and offers a woodland setting for nature-focused excursions in the Segeberg district.
For a cultural and historical focus, the wider Segeberg travel region also offers guided tours at the C. & F. Blunck wool spinning mill: in a historic mill complex, visitors can follow the entire wool-processing process. Check the availability of tours in advance. This gives you the option of considering Fahrenkrug’s local history alongside the different nature and cultural themes of the Segeberg travel region as separate interests when planning your trip.
