The small, interestingly designed Bodenseeobst-Museum in Frickingen is devoted to a wide variety of aspects relating to fruit growing on Lake Constance. A funny Apfelkrabb is waiting for the little guests.
The Lake Constance area is one of the largest fruit growing areas in Germany and fruit growing is the basis of life for many people here. The fruit growing community of Frickingen in the Petershauser Hof, built in 1591 in the center of the village, found an ideal place to document the history and economic development of this branch of business in detail.

The earliest finds of apples come from the pile dwelling settlements on Lake Constance and are around 5,000 years old. However, the Romans brought the actual fruit growing to Lake Constance. Later the monasteries, in particular Salem Abbey, dealt with techniques for fruit refinement, and in the 17th and 18th centuries the landlords also promoted fruit growing as an important contribution to the nourishment of the population.

Besides a view into history the Bodenseeobst-Museum shows how today's orchards came into being and how the brand name Bodensee-Obst established itself with railway construction. In other small departments, information is also provided on breeding and care, fruit types, crop protection, harvesting and finally the various options for processing the delicious fruit. And the little guests learn all there is to know about the apple from the museum's funny Apfelkrabb.
