Housed in one of the oldest buildings in Lehde, the museum offers insights into the history and importance of the cucumber for the region.
The cucumber museum in the Spreewald, especially in Lehde, is a unique museum that sheds light on the tradition of cucumber cultivation and processing in the region. It is located in one of the oldest buildings in the village and offers insights into the history of the Spreewald gherkin. Visitors can discover historical production equipment and traditional pickling methods, marvel at the large cucumber barrels and taste the famous Spreewald gherkins on site.
In addition to gherkin production, the museum documents the life and work of a traditional Spreewald family. Exhibits such as old traditional costumes and household items show how life used to be in the Spreewald.
The gherkin museum is part of the Starick hotel complex and is a popular destination for families. It conveys not only culinary but also cultural impressions of the region and brings the unique tradition of the Spreewald to life in an entertaining way - a worthwhile excursion for culture vultures and gourmets alike.
