Historic tractors and agricultural machinery in the thatched-roof village
Once a year, the Klockenhagen Open-Air Museum transforms into a small stage for historic agricultural technology. During Tractor Day, tractors, combine harvesters, and small agricultural machines roll across the grounds – including many models from the GDR era, such as Famulus, Aktivist, or ZT tractors, as well as pre-war models from Western manufacturers.
The program includes demonstrations of old agricultural machinery, plowing, and harvesting techniques, scenic rides in open trailers, and – depending on the year – rides for children. Collectors and clubs from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandenburg present their restored machines and are available for discussions.
The Klockenhagen Open-Air Museum preserves farmhouses, barns, and workshops from the rural region between the Bodden and the Baltic Sea. Tractor Day fits perfectly into the museum's mission: to make rural culture tangible. Klockenhagen is located in the Vorpommern-Rügen district and belongs to the amber town of Ribnitz-Damgarten.
The date for 2026 is June 14, open from 10 AM to 5 PM (announcement on the museum's website). Collectors and clubs from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are bringing their restored tractors and agricultural machinery; demonstrations of historic harvesting techniques and scenic rides around the grounds are planned.
As always, Tractor Day is integrated into the regular museum operations – the historic farmhouses and workshops can be visited concurrently, and the museum tavern provides refreshments.
The detailed program for 2026 will be published by the Klockenhagen Open-Air Museum shortly before the date on freilichtmuseum-klockenhagen.de. Typically, the day's schedule looks like this:
