(Bernkastel-Wittlich district)
The house was built in 1808 as the property of a rather affluent full-time farmer.
It presents a two-storey half-timbered house, three rooms deep, the ground floor
living quarters and livestock sheds of which are built from quarried slate.

By arranging three rooms behind each other, the kitchen, which is in the middle
of the house at the end of the passageway, gets hardly any light. This is a so-called
"black kitchen", which - apart from a tiny window in the gable wall - only got
light from the open fire in the kitchen stove. The building was reconstructed
in the museum as it was in 1875.

The picture shows the livestock shed. The lower photos show views of the rooms inside the house. On the left there is a bedchamber, in the middle the parlour and on the right the "black kitchen".
