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.

Gentilissimo Signor Festi, certamente, ecco a Lei un piccolo riassunto in italiano: Museo della Frutta del Lago di Costanza Nel cuore di Frickingen, il Museo della Frutta del Lago di Costanza racconta la lunga tradizione della frutticoltura nella regione. Ospitato nel Petershauser Hof, un edificio risalente al 1591, il museo ripercorre la storia della coltivazione della frutta sul Lago di Costanza, dalle prime mele rinvenute negli insediamenti palafitticoli fino alla moderna produzione di Bodensee-Obst. I visitatori possono scoprire interessanti curiosità sulle diverse varietà di frutta, sulla coltivazione e sulla raccolta, sulla protezione delle piante e sulle numerose possibilità di trasformazione. Una visita interessante e istruttiva per tutta la famiglia, con tante curiosità anche per i più piccoli grazie al simpatico Apfelkrabb, il personaggio del museo. Ingresso gratuito. Aperto la domenica e nei giorni festivi dalle 10:30 alle 12:00. Spero che queste informazioni possano essere utili. Cordiali saluti Il Team del Bodensee Linzgau Tourismus
