Special exhibition opens at the Allgäu Mountain Farming Museum
08/30/2026The focus on the Allgäu region has been a long-standing tradition in the Department of Geography Education at the University of Würzburg. Among the various collaborative projects is Dr Markus Pingold’s partnership with the Allgäu Mountain Farmers’ Museum in Diepolz, which, with around 70,000 visitors a year, is the most popular museum in Swabia. Every year, as part of a final-year dissertation, a special exhibition is created which is on display for a year in the museum’s outdoor area.
Overview of topics from recent years:
2022: Emma Sorg: Ten things from a mountain farm
