Spring Market with Plant Market and Baking Day – Syke District Museum

Syke District Museum – the Open-Air Museum of the District

The Syke District Museum is one of the most important local history museums in the Diepholz district, combining classic museum exhibitions with open-air areas, historic buildings, and a vibrant event series. Located at Herrlichkeit 65, it is not only a place of learning but also a social meeting point and the venue for many regional traditions.

The 400-year-old Bakehouse

A highlight of the Spring Market is the baking day in the historic bakehouse. The building is over 400 years old and is still operated today. On market day, fresh bread is baked in the stone oven – visitors can follow the process from preparing the dough, to loading the oven, to taking out the bread, and enjoy the aroma of freshly baked bread. Of course, you can also taste and buy this bread.

Plant Market for Gardeners

The plant market brings together regional gardeners, perennial specialists, and natural garden enthusiasts. On offer: native perennials, shrubs, spring flowers, herbs, seeds, along with advice from experienced gardeners. For many visitors, the market is an ideal opportunity to get their own garden ready for spring while also experiencing plant swaps and tips.

Herb Walks with Sabine Kratzer

The renowned herb expert Sabine Kratzer will lead two walks across the museum grounds and through the surrounding landscape – at 12:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. She will show native wild herbs, explain their culinary and medicinal uses, and provide tips for foraging.
